Hi...I tried Atkins in the summer of '04 and lost 40 lbs. in 3 months. When the summer was over, however, I returned to college and dorm food which was not Atkins friendly...Now four years later, I am trying it again after gaining 50 lbs. during my pregnancy with my son. Today is day 2...My husband is having a harder time than I am, but I have faith that since we're doing it together he'll be able to stick with it. His biggest complaint is that he can't drink milk. I told him we would pick up some Hood's Carb Countdown milk, so hopefully that will help...I look forward to hearing some of your stories.

Hi SMATTRAH,

When my hubby and I did Atkins for the first time he suffered a few days and then he did really well. It is great that you can support each other.

Good luck,
