Hey! I'm MaryN. from North Carolina and I started Atkins in September 2003. I have lost around 30 pounds. I have 50 or more to go. I found this way of eating is fairly easy. Sometimes I have a weak moment and eat something that I wish I had not. But all in all I think I am doing ok. I liketo get new recipes to try. I'm starting a notebook of recipes and ideas I want to try. Looking forward to a happy time here.

Welcome aboard Mary! Looks like you have done really well in progressing toward your goal.

Don't worry about the weak moments. This is after all a Way of Life not just a diet. That means above all this plan has to be flexible enough to allow a slip up. Just don't get down on yourself when a slip occurs. It happens, just move on!

Again, Welcome and Congrats!!
