Hi, Chay.

Welcome!

Don't worry about a target weight loss at this point. Just work on learning how to eat low carb as a way of life.

Good luck to you! Is your Mom on board with you?

thanks,
my mom is not doing it with me becuase she lost considerable amounts of weight in her past relationship and is smaller then me, but she did the atkins about 7 years ago when she had my little brother and lost all her baby weight and shes helping me along the way,

ChayChay, I was just wondering about... your water intake? and any liquids you drink. you do know that what ever you drink, counts big time. Did you cut out your sugar pop and juices, and coffee drinks? just cutting those out can make a huge difference in the long run. You came to the right place sweetie, there are really smart people here, and people that will help you not feel so alone.
