I'm 21 and live in WA State. I've recently gone on new pills for migraines and a new birth control. I think the combination of these things is where my extra 30 lbs comes from. I've also recently moved in with my boyfriend. We were eating out a lot but that has definitely decreased in the last couple months. I'm hoping that since I'm in induction of Atkins right now I will only need to be on it for the two weeks rather than however long it could last.

I'm doing this for a lot of reasons, the first being family health. I've got a long family history of diabetes and heart disease so I figured I'd try to head that off before anything really becomes a problem.

I also knew it was time when my jeans I've had for years began to not fit anymore.
