Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself as a newbie...
I did Atkins for the first time in 2002 - by chance I picked up the Atkins book in a bookstore and never looked back. I had been chubby for 10 years and never been able to lose the puppy fat, but on Atkins in 5 weeks I lost the 15 pounds extra and had a new lease of life, I wanted to kiss Dr Atkins!!
A few years later though I realize I am still not at my "goal" weight...I still don't look great in clothes and feel I could lose some extra. More than that though, my consumption of sugar/carbs has gone through the roof and I get so many headaches etc that I am sure I will feel much better low-carbing.
I think I am a true carb-addict though so it will take some patience and willpower!
Thank you all for your Success Stories, they are really helping me as I start out... :-)
PS - I forgot to say, I also have PCOS, massively, so another very good reason to low-carb....!!
