Hi everyone! My name is Kim and I'm a former carboholic!

I have been on a diet of one type or another off and on since I was 15 years old. I've tried pretty much every plan out there, losing some weight only to gain it all back and then some.

Food has always been a source of comfort and enjoyment to me. Between two pregnancies and a hypothyroid condition, plus eating too much of the wrong things, my weight rose to 179. My back and feet ached, I felt like I was out of breath all the time and I hated the way I looked. I avoided mirrors and didn't want to go out much.

I managed to lose a bit of weight with a low carb high fat plan, but I felt tired and sluggish. I also craved all the foods I couldn't have, and I felt depressed and angry.

Then I bought a magazine that mentioned Kimkins, and I did a bit of research online. $40 was dirt cheap for a lifetime membership, so I joined on January 5, 2007. I thought "If this doesn't work, I'll only be out $40." Well, it worked amazingly! I lost 8 pounds in the first week, 6 pounds in the second week, and I kept losing consistently and quickly every week after that! I had no real cravings or hunger in that time, and the plan was so simple, with ordinary food you'd find in the cupboard or refrigerator.

I got to my goal in about 14 weeks! 38 pounds lost with very little effort!

This has been the easiest plan I've ever tried. I love the 24/7 support from all the friends I've made. It has made the difference between success and failure this time for me. I know I can eat like this forever and not feel deprived or hungry.

This is the first spring I can honestly remember being excited about, because I'll be able to wear shorts and cute, trendy clothes. I love being able to play with my kids, not just watch them play. I love that my husband is happy and proud of me. I am just so happy that I have finally found something that works better than I could have ever imagined.

Kimmer, you have been an incredible source of inspiration for me, and I can't thank you enough for this website, and the knowledge that comes with it. You have given me the greatest gift ever; the ability to manage my weight successfully for the rest of my life! Thank you!!!
