Hi Everyone!

[RachelBlue]

My name is Rachel and I'm just about to start my low carb diet. I found this page just now googling 'Atkins' and joined right away :wave:

I've put on quite a bit of weight over the past 2 years (over 40lbs) and I'm tired of feeling fat and having a closet full of old size 6 clothes I can no longer wear, I think that's the saddest part. What pushed me to go low carb is that my size 14 clothes are starting to feel tight! :(

My goal is to lose 45lbs, 175 > 130, and to do so in 3 to 4 months if possible.

I'm very happy to have found this site and look forward to getting to know everyone as we work towards are goal :)
