Hey

Hey! My name is Kassie. I'm new to this forum. I will turn 19 on July 4th. I'm tired of the way I look, and I need some motivation to lose weight. All the girls my age are so pretty, and thin. I hope you all will be nice and supportive. Looking forward to chatting.

Hey fellow cancerian, welcome to the forum :)

Are you following a particular plan?

Tell us a bit about yourself!

[tinklebell_05]

No, i'm not following a particular plan. I'm just desparate to lose weight. I thought this would be a great place to get motivated. I really don't know what to do. I've tried pills, low calorie/fat diets, and even tried to stop eating(which made the situation worse). I haven't always had this problem. Up until recently i've been in good shape. I guess my metabolism is really slowing down.

Tinklebell low calories/not eating are just going to play havoc with your body. Why not pic yourself up a copy of atkins new diet revolution 2002 edition or earlier, they are very cheap. We will help you if you have any troubles, get stuck etc
Otherwise theres links to some other LC diets aswell on our links page.

You might like to start a diary too and put your stats etc down.

Heres a link to the atkins site with some info on the stages: http://www.atkins.com/articles/nutritional-approach
