Hello everyone!
I'm new to this forum, and I'm quite happy to have been directed to this site.
Let me tell you a bit about my story.
On December 1st of last year, I decided that I didn't want to be fat anymore, so I borrowed some of my sister's WW books and began that. It was ok. I did lost about 25 lbs on it at first, but it just got so tedious to follow. Around May I dropped the diet and just began eating like I had been. I regained about 7 of those lost pounds and I was not happy about that.
Then I saw a 20/20 show about how the low fat diet is bad and maybe Atkins had something with his diet. So I picked up his book and read it. It seemed to make sense, so on the 29th of July, I started. Since then, I've lost 16.5 pounds, 2 inches off my chest, 2.5 off my waist, and 1.5 off my hips!
I'm still on phase 1 of the diet, because my wedding is in two months, and I want to lose as much as possible before then (so I can fit into my dress without altering it too much.)
After that, on to phase two.
