Hello everyone, I'm a 45yr old young girl at heart. I started Atkins on 10/25/10 weighing in at 226. On 11/08/10 my two weeks on induction I weighed in at 215. It's a great feeling to know that I have taken control over my weight. There is still alot to learn but my family on the Atkins forum (Any other new people want to buddy up?) have taken me under their wing and they are a great group of people. As of 11/10/10 yes I couldn't wait for our Friday weigh in! I'm 214. My goal weight is 140, but if I could make it to 150 and feel as great or better than I feel at this moment I will be fine with that. I want to make healthy eating a part of my life not a quick fix weight loss. So I hope I meet more wonderful people on FS.

I was fine on weight until 2004 when I moved to Chicago temporary, didn't like the cold there and hibernated alot and comfort my depression with food.

Now I'm back in Tampa and want to see myself back in a bikini! yes I said bikini....

Well as I started my new endeavor I hope to hear about everyone's successes.

Carmen
