New to Atkins and wanted to introduce myself...checking the boards out and trying to keep up with all the information. This is awesome having so many supporters...

Just a little history...I started my battle with my weight in my early 20's...every year gained a little then joined weight watchers...gained some more, joined Jenny Craig, gained some more, thought I would try weight watchers yet again...I failed at all of it...I had no willpower...and I thought I could be happy at 189 lbs...then I started to have problems with heartburn and aching joints...

Off I go to the specialists and they say you need to lose weight...now I was embarrassed and bewildered...I had no idea how I was going to get the weight off...

About a year about my brother-in-law started Atkins...he lost 40 lbs...then his wife started this past Sept...they both have done very well...so I thought I would give this a try...

Like I said earlier there a bunch of medical reasons why I should take off the weight, but up until just recently I decided I wanted to do it for ME and my well being...

Thanks so much for having a place for me to go when I need HELP...
