Hi everyone !

Would love to join in here. I live in Germany now but come from the PNW (Tacoma).
Have a new husband and life here and want to have a new(well o.k. not so new) but better body and health. I started Atkins hmmmm June 9th or 6th.
Hubby is loving and supportive which is a very big plus. He loves me for me which is most important. He eats what ever I do for dinner..but the rest of the day he is on his own. He doesn't need to loose weight . So this is a problem to some exstent..we have a lot of carbs floating around here( damn he has a sweet tooth). And then there is the bread issue...he needs his bread one of my big down falls..
So far I have been good and find I have my foods I like that keep happy. I love pork rinds..but they have so much salt I tend to stall with them.
I have a problem finding many of the low carb foods and he health food stores leave very little to be desired here. Just found a new site that sales the Da Vinci surgar free syrups!! Yippe they are her ein Germany so the postage will be very little.
Found a store that sales wheat brand and a low carb protien powder..now I can make my own cereal and granola..just need to find some sugerfree coconut.
Today I also started a journal with fitday.com..wow this will be a big help.
