Hey everyone!!! This is the second time I'm putting this up on the Pen Pals page. I figure with the first of the year maybe more people would be out there! I am a 27 year old mom of 2 little kids. I have been heavy my entire life. I started on Atkins in September of 2003 and have lost a total of about 20 pounds. I have only 15 pounds to go to make my goal but I am struggling emotionally. I crave sweets all the time and up till now I've been so good not to cheat. The last week has been so tough on me though. I have been binging on any sweets I can find and really need some suuport to keep me on track, I'm in the chat room a lot and it does help but I would really love to be able to find people in my area to start a support group. I think it's so important to have others who share in the same kinds of things as you especially this low carb lifestyle. If anyone is close and interested Please Please let me know.

I'm in Ohio, just north of you about 1-1/2 hours

I'm 40 and am on day 15 of induction. I don't own a scale, but have lost inches and feel really great most of the time.

Just wanted to say hello and good luck! I think about sweets too, but have not ventured into really anything like that. I know myself...if I get started on SF anything, I will get the taste for it again.

Have you tried re-inducting again to 'get rid of' the sweet craving?

Hello, my name is Lola and I live in Ostrander, Ohio which is about 15 miles NW of Dublin, Ohio. I work in Columbus so I am there 5 days a week. I would definately be interested in any kind of support group. Like you I have two young children ( A boy that is 3 1/2 and a girl who is 20 months.) Unlike you I have a LOT to lose. I am at 377 (down from an all time high of 442 and 408 3 months ago when I started) and would like to eventually get down to 160ish. Let me know if there are others that are interested. If we wanted to do actual meetings I know we could use the Columbus Public Library's meeting rooms on most any side of town, for free. I think that no matter how much you have to lose there are still those struggles. Actually, even on maintenance I am sure there are on going struggles that support could make easier. Let me know if there are others .....I could use the support as well!
