Hi

[mbarmitage]

I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Marlene, and I've been on Atkins for almost a month now. So far I have lost 19 pounds and have another 50 to go. I was a former sommersizer but went back to University and gained back all I had lost. Thought I would try Atkins to see if I could get myself back on the straight and narrow. It is amazing how much more energy I have when I eat the LC way! I can't figure out why I let myself go off and become so lethargic. Anyway, I am glad to find a support site and hope you guys can help me though and then guide me to stay on track.

Welcome! :wave:

You're truely blessed, 19lbs, WOW!

I'm pretty new to the forum but I really like it :D These are great people and very encouraging, I'll be headed to the kitchen in a minute to find a recipe for dinner tonight! :yum:

Happy LC'ing! I signed up at Fitday and I love it. I also started a journal and receive many visits there by friendly LC'ers.

I am also very new here, but everyone seems very friendly and supportive. I noticed that we have the same goal weight, I just have more to lose than you. Good luck and post your progress, and I also notice that I feel much better when I go lc.
