Current Weight:(20 May 13) 253.0 lb
Goal Weight:155.0 lb
following: Atkins
performance: losing 3.6 lb a week

I'm 30 years old and have been overweight most of my adult life. I realize that weight will be something I will constantly struggle with. I am looking to make a long lasting lifestyle change. I am happily married with 3 kids. I work in accounting so I am fairly inactive most of the day unless I go to the gym. I joined the gym in January of 2012 and have been trying to make it a habit to get some exercise in. I am sick and tired of hating my body. I'm tired of feeling unattractive and big all the time. I want to say goodbye to sore feet and exhaustion and hello to the new me. I can't even begin to count how many times I have tried and failed to lose this weight. I don't know why this time will be any different other than I can feel my youth slipping away and I haven't done half of what I wanted to do. I want to go to water parks, go skydivin, wear shorts etc. but mostly I just want to enjoy my life without feeling self conscious and insecure all the time. I am really determined that this time I will make a change that lasts.

Not new, but newly back and needing some weight loss buddies!
Sorry guys I didnt get to get on the past few days. Payroll week at work is HORRIBLE for me. I would LOVE to have you as buddies!!! If you havent sent me a request I'm sending you one. I think a support group is so important!! I thinks it's probably even more important for diets like Atkins. The outside world sometimes has such a negative view of what we are doing. I can't tell you how many people tell me...

Oh you're doing Atkins? Isn't that were you just eat meat? That is so bad for you!!!

LOL - Well we know better. I know for a fact that I eat WAY more green veggies now than I used to. A typical meal for me before was Steak, Baked Potato and corn. Now it's Steak and steamed broccoli and cauliflower.

Thanks everyone!!!

Hey guys, I am a 30 year old mom of 3 and I am serious about changing my lifestyle. I work out 5 times per week. I am following Atkins, and the weight is coming off. I just need some more buddies. I have a few on here but I guess they aren't online much anymore. Looking to add to my support group. I have 100 pounds left to lose. I need someone to laugh with, cry with, and kick each other's butts when we get off track. Thanks!

Restarting Atkins
I am in the same boat as you. I lost about 80 pounds and put back a little over 50 pounds in 10 months. Sad I am starting back too. Been working on it a week now and I am doing well but and afraid of not succeeding long term. We can do it. Stay on Fatsecret. It really does help.
