At my highest weight I was 200# at age 21. I followed the atkins diet. Walked and worked out at home. It took me 5 months to loss 70#. I was able to maintain 130# for 4 years. Then I became pregnant with my oldest daughter. I weighed 180# when I gave birth to her. In just 24 hours I was at 160# ( that is normal due to baby, water, blood) It took me 18 months to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight of 130. Shortly after that I became pregnant with my second daughter. I gained 50# in that pregnancy and again I was at 180 at delivery. I have not been able to loss the weight. On Jan. the first 2014 I again weighted 180#. This time not pregnant! I have lost 3# by just eating better. Then I decided to go back on the atkins plan. I fill great and have lost 11# in 38 days. I hope I can get back down to 130.
I am almost 6 weeks into Atkins and I have managed to loss 27.6#. Atkins and hard work will work. You just have to give it 100% all the time.

10-21-14 well I did it I hit 120# and have been trying to maintain it for the past 3 months. I have bounced around 5# here and there. It really is harder to maintain weight over losing it. I did see my all time low of 117 about 1 month ago. I would still like to see 115 but that is up to my body. I am 5' 1/2" tall and medium build 120#😉
