hi everyone. my name is tracy. i will be starting the grapefruit juice diet tomorrow. it is very close to atkins but with the grapefruit juice. i am over 200 and that is all i am going to say. i tried the cabbage soup diet a few months back and lost about 8 lbs but then it came right back with friends. i am hoping to finally put an end to my weight problem. i was always relatively thin about 135 and after having children i went up to 269. that was 4 yrs ago when i had my last child. i am in a size 18 and want to be back down to a normal size. i cry everyday. pray everyday and just eat more and more everyday. i am so tired of hearing "but you have such a pretty face" i could vomit! my body will never be the same after having children and gaining all of that weight i have come to terms with that. but that is no reason to hold myself back from being the best i can be with or without all the fat. to be honest i am scared. very scared. food is my comfort my best friend and i am already in mourning over having to give up the food i love. i am ready and willing to do what it takes to get this weight off. i am so glad i will have all this support from people who are there or who have been there. i do not think i could even attempt without ya'll. God bless everyone. and thank you in advance for all the help. tracy

I've been following weight watchers and I recently joined Curves. Here are a couple more pics, just to show the difference in my face. It's a lot less round!!! I'm wearing the crown for New Years!! lol!!
Happy New Year everyone!!!!
Well, I was going to wait until I reached 80 lbs lost, but I got new jeans yesterday and I am wearing a shirt that I haven't worn in at least 5 years so I had to take pictures
At 76 lbs lost
Thanks for everyone's support. I know I wouldn't have made it this far without you!
