I have a new battle to fight. The Battle of the Bulge. I am 80 pounds overweight, but my wife and I have recently taken steps to slim down and be healthy.

We’ve chosen a low carb lifestyle. In my last foray with a low carb life style I lost 45 pounds and was in the best shape of my life. In the end I was defeated by the free snacks and soft drinks my employer provides.

This time is different. This time I am being joined by my wife. She will support me as I support her. Wish us well, and I hope you fairwell on your quest as well.

I've started my online journal Carb Fighters. (http://carbfighters.wordpress.com/)

Nice forum avatar, I had to say, lol. Street Fighter!

Anyways, since you have been down this road before this should be no issue for you and plus you already know what to do, so knowledge is on your side. I hope it works out for you and your wife! Good luck!

HI there! My husband started doing atkins after I practically begged him too.. and now he is like the spokes person for atkins around here. It is hilarious. It makes it SO much easier to do when your spouse is on board. Welcome and good luck!
