I'm a Wife and Mom I have been with my husband since I was 19 years old and I'm going to be 46 this year. I have a wonderful crazy chaotic 15-year-old son. We live in Southern Alabama and in the summer we stay in a lot because of the heat and bugs. My son suffers from severe allergies and to top that off has allergy induced asthma. So our fun time is fall, winter and some of the spring. I Started last year at the beginning of 2014 by cutting sugar out of my life. I was close to 370 as you can tell from my photo, I was so swollen. I lost weight from cutting out that sugar. I noticed a friend on Facebook who kept talking about her life-changing events doing Atkins diet. I had heard of it, but never knew what it was. I always followed low-fat, low-cal which never worked for me, ever! I'd still gain! Once I read and researched a ton I decided to do this diet. I found Doctors online like Dr. Eric Westman and made friends with him. I started the diet weighing 330.6, that was my first weigh in on June 23, 2014, when I started to drop that weight! I am now down to the 260's! Woot! but I have ways to go and I'm on my way!

I look forward to sharing here and I told all because I do that occasionally. I hold nothing back! I share all my recipes and stuff I make on my site LCHFDiva.com. Thanks for visiting, following and I'm slowly figuring out this site!

I fell off the wagon for some time gained all my weight back plus a few pounds. Restarting at 338 lbs.
