Hi my name is Jasmine. I am 25 years old and I live in Sunny Florida. I began at 5' 7 and 138 lbs. I have been active all of my life, and have never been able to drop the extra 10 pounds. I was working out 5 days a week ( burning no less than 700 calories at the gym at each work out) eating right, working with a personal trainer...and still could only maintain my weight. I was so discouraged until finally a friend introduced me to the Atkins diet. Within 2 months I lost the 10 pounds! I have maintained this weight for 7 months. Now I only go to the gym twice a week for those vigorous workouts, and I am always satisfied with my meals. This diet is truly amazing! I get to eat like a Queen, I am full and satisfied, and the best part - I have finally lost the weight! Good luck everyone!
