Tracy has maintained her weight loss for 2 years!
Hi, my name is Tracy. A mother of 2 great kids, 15 and 11 (now 17 and 13), and married for 18 years (now 20 years).
My story is not a lot different then any one else who has ever struggled with losing weight. It all started for me after I had my 2 children and hit my late 20s. All the things that had ever worked for me in the past just were not working anymore, and I found myself feeling more and more helpless. I was really miserable, and every time I looked in the mirror I would just get so upset and wonder, “What on earth was I doing wrong? Why couldn’t I shed these pounds?”
.
I had always been what I deemed a normal weight prior to the kids and had no problems sticking around 110-120 pounds. So when I starting gaining weight on my small frame of 5’2″, every little pound showed — and in all the wrong places. Because I always wanted to get no heavier then 125 pounds, to actually reach 151 was absolutely devastating for me! And all that time I was on some kind of diet, but slowly gaining. How frustrating is that!
.
When I found Kimkins, life changed for me, and really fast, too. I came into the [Kimkins] site feeling very self defeated and very scared, wondering whether I could stick to plan. After all I am such a food junkie and I was really really terrified I would fail once again. I had tried every single diet on the market: Weight Loss for Idiots, Lose 16 in 10 Day Diet, Cabbage Soup Diet, Colon Cleanse Diet — you name it, I have tried it. That’s not to mention all the hundreds of dollars I have spent on worthless diet pills, and nearly crippling myself on fitness trainers, LOL!
.
I am happy to say I have a real air to my walk now, and I feel so healthy and so excited that I completed what I started out to do! I am very proud of myself and for any one who may be reading this, just know, no matter how much weight you have to lose, you can do it on Kimkins.
.
And the most important thing that has happened to me is how confident I feel from the inside out. When you put weight on you actually forget what it feels like to REALLY feel awesome about yourself. Kimkins has done that for me, and I cannot thank Kimmer enough. 
.
I absolutely love the Kimkins site — so much support and encourage is felt there. Everyone there has either been there done that and helping others, or is on their own journey. But it is definitely an awesome family to be part of!
.
My hubby and children are so proud of me, and a new lease of life has definitely happened in my marriage. My hubby always told me how wonderful I looked prior to my weight loss, so it really is a great feeling to constantly catch my hubby of many years checking me out all the time now.
.
It is just amazing how things have changed all around for me. This is a plan that works and works well. Thank you, Kimkins! I used to be in a size 8/10, now I am in a comfortable size 2/3. But I can fit my teen daughter’s size 0 — that is too cool!!!

Updates from Tracy’s personal journal at Kimkins:

* OMG OMG I just got into my hubbies 29 inch waist wranglers LOL … I am shocked, I haven’t been able to wear his jeans since I was 17 yrs old. OK but it gets even better, he then says, “Try on our daughters jeans,” and she is like tiny tiny, and I was like, “OMG, ya right, like I could never fit her size 0 size 1 jeans” …. but I thought, “OK why not I will try.” NO WAY! GET OUT! I FIT INTO HER SIZE 1 JEANS!!!! Yes there is a bit of a muffin top, but no worse then the muffin top I had in my size 10′s and get this — I did not have to lay on the bed or anything, they went straight up!!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT, I JUST CAN’T!!!! I AM LIKE WOW WOW WOW WOW, happy little girl I am!
* I am so in love with this WOE, it is the only thing that has worked and worked so fast and well for me. I used to get this really bad pain in my hips when I walked any distance, I always thought I had like arthritis or something, and I just realized the other day after walking over 2 miles in the deep snow, that I did not have that pain, and I mentioned it to hubby and he said oh yeah you would of been in a lot of pain doing that walk usually. So it must of had something to do with the extra weight, and even though it wasn’t a lot it was enough on my small frame obviously.
