I have been away for a few days, always away from the computer on weekends and then yesterday's storms knocked out our internet access. I've done pretty well avoiding the sugar alcohols which has been my first goal of getting back on track. My calories are still up there but I have gone back down a few pounds, still not near my profile but getting there.
As introduction, I am 56 years old, been married for 37 years with 3 grown children and 3 (soon to be 5) grandchildren. I started Atkins kind of as a last ditch attempt to lose some weight and was immediately successful. Since the holidays I've been on a roller coaster of up and down, up and down. Not anywhere near wanting to give up because I still want to lost 40 pounds. I find this forum to be inspiring and also helps me to be accountable to others which keeps me on track.
