Hello Everyone!

Well, I am so glad to find everyone in the same boat as I am. I was on Atkins a few years ago and it is the absolute best diet I have ever tried. I never really had to lose that much weight, maybe ten or twelve pounds and then maintain that, but Atkins worked for me. However, for one reason or another, I "fell off the wagon". Now that I just celebrated my 42nd birthday on January 9th, that is the day I began my induction once again. I am a single mom of a teenage son who is my rock, my life and my angel. He always tells me I look great, but at my last physical on January 6, I weighed in at 163 - a number I personally did not like (and haven't seen since I was 4 months pregnant!) I am 5'8, but when I was on Atkins two years ago, I went from 156 to 145, I felt great, I looked great (my legs actually looked longer!!!!!) and I slid into size 10 jeans I haven't worn since high school. I want to feel that again, so here I am! I don't have too far to go, but those last 10 or so pounds are the hardest to lose. All of you are my inspiration. I am glad you are here! :D

Hi, Fidora. It really doesn't matter that you don't have much to lose, as compared to 100 or more lbs. I turned to Atkins after I lost 50 lbs. on low-cal/low-fat because low-carb is a sustainable way of eating. I've been at maintenance since April, and I feel more confident than ever that I won't be regaining and losing those same 20 or 30 lbs. over and over.

Best wishes.
Barbara

You can do this also.

Thank you, Thank you everyone! I am glad to be back! And I am not leaving anytime soon! I am so glad you are all here with me, too. The last time I was on Atkins, I seemed to be all alone, but this time, I have all of you for support!
