For me it was some pictures I had just got developed. I knew I was fat and had been for quite a while. I had tried Nutrisystem and Weightwatchers lost some and gained more back I tried starvation diets you name it I have been on it. I thought I was going to be fat until the end of my days. The pictures came I looked and couldn't believe how fat I was. I started to surf the net and came upon some low carb success stories and thought this is what I would like to eat . My hubby laughed at me when I started to cook bacon and eggs said no way will I lose eating all that. Well now he believes. My clothes are getting baggy I can join the droopy pants club. My back and knees that used to bother me are well now and I keep on losing .
