50 lbs lost*
My Story:
After high school, my weight started creeping up. Every year, I was wearing a bigger size. I stopped weighing myself because it was too discouraging. It seemed like, the more I dieted and the less I ate, the fatter I got, even while I was actively exercising. I even made a few attempts at what I thought was the Atkins diet plan, but due to my lack of knowledge, I was never able to last more than a few days and gave up. Looking back, I realize I was never following the Atkins Nutritional Approach.
