At the time (4 1/2 years ago), I was at the weight that I am now and a girl I was working w/ (she was probably 50 lbs overweight) was taking it. She gave it to me and I think one other girl...I lost 15 lbs in about two weeks (it took me about 1 1/2 years to gain it back). I couldn't eat a thing / all food looked horrible. Once it went off the market, I was devistated. I still have no idea the damage I did to my body.
Atkins for me is sooo much better (yes, for the obvious health reasons), but also I do not want to ruin all the work it took for me to get here - I earned it and it means that much more. Now at this weight, I think I am absolutely gorgeous (I tell my boyfriend atleast once a day how great I look...lol...it should probably be the other way around, but for him, he's thinks I always look great ).

Well everyone, good luck w/ our new, much safer diet,
Erin
