Marci Rathbun

Marcie's battle with weight began when she decided to try modeling as a teen. She explains: "I was only 5'5", but many people encouraged me to go for it, so I thought, 'What the heck?' That's where the problem started. There I was, a 14-year-old (in a size 7), dieting because the agents told me I was too heavy. From then on I kept thinking of myself as fat...the self-fulfilling prophecy came to pass."

When she and her husband found success with low carb, they had to relearn their gourmet cooking techniques.  Their success is evidenced by Marcie's delicious recipies! You can find more of Marcie's creations at her website, iLoveLowCarb.com.
