HI Everyone! My name is Joycie

[Joycie]

Hello Fellow Atkins Dieters!
My name is Joycie. I am 31 years old and I live here in San Diego, CA. My starting weight was 164 pounds and after one week of actually being in ketosis I am down to 159. I go to the gym every day and I am very determined. I decided to join this forum because I am trying to do this without appetite suppressants but MAN ITS GETTING HARD!!! My family has cookies and pastries around all the time along with chips and soda just staring me straight in the face. I am trying to lose weight to go back in to the Army. I have actually been trying to lose the weight for over a month and a half but I am pretty sure the the low carb Monster energy drinks were sabotaging me. I wasn't testing with glucose strips (now I am) to make sure that doesn't happen to me again. I am open to meeting new friends and would be happy to chat at any time!
