Hi Susan,
Welcome to the forum. I don't have much left to lose, but I have lost 44 pounds on Atkins and I'm a personal chef with experience cooking for diabetic patients.
I'll help out however I can.
I found the first 6-8 weeks of Atkins to be a very 'trying' as I was heavily addicted to sugar. I stuck it out with some great support and overcame my hurdles. You'll find lots of support here.
Kindest, Michelle

Do be sure to visit the Triple Digits Forum. YOu can find it on the front page or just use the pull down "Forum Jump" at the bottom of every page. It is specially for people who have 100+ pounds to lose, or have lost that or are losing that. So you'll fit right in. You'll love reading about people who HAVE lost over 100 pounds.

Hello Susan and welcome!

You know, a funny thing happened on the way to the forum; and that is you will find this place a great place to get some much needed support.

The best thing is knowing that you are NEVER alone in your struggle.

I too have a lot of Lbs to loose so believe me when I say:"I understand!!"

One of the best suggestions given to me when I joined this forum was to start a journal. It's a great place to communicate with your new friends. They can drop by anytime, see how you are doing & offer some advice and support.

Hope you drop by mine, I'd love to hear from you!
