Hi. My name is Stephanie and tommorow begins my first day of of low carbing. I started Atkins last year and lost 12 pounds on it, but then switched to a low fat diet and after loosing only a few more pounds, I gained back those 12-14 pounds and then some. I have made the decesion this time to do it the right way, and make low-carbing not a diet, but a way of life. I have struggled with my weight since the beginning of high school and now that I am in college, I want to be healthier and not overweight. Any advice and support would be greatly appreciated. I am really motivated by just reading the success stories of all of you here. It is nice to feel like you have someone. At the moment I am 173 pounds and my goal is to be 120. I am looking forward to getting started, shedding pounds, and eating right!
