Hello everyone!!

My name is Lenise, and I live in Pennsylvania. I've been married for 11 years and we have 2 children that I homeschool. Plus we have our own cleaning business, so we're pretty busy at times!

I first started Atkins 3 years ago. We went on vacation my hubby used our video camera. I couldn't believe that was me on those tapes!! 220 pounds. Within about 4-6 months I had lost 27 pounds. Got my wedding ring on for the first time in several years. Felt good too. But then I got discouraged and went back to my old eating habits. Ended up gaining back most of the weight and have struggled ever since.

So last month I decided to restart. My weight was 198. The whoosh fairy visited me last night and I lost 3 more pounds, so I'm down to 190 now. Now bad for a month. I'm thrilled!! And my wedding ring came off for the first time in three years. The next time it goes back on I want it to slide right on that finger!!

My goal is 145-150. That was my usual weight when I was in my teens and early 20's. Though the summer before I got married my weight had dropped to 135 (never seen before!!). So my goal may change later.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!!
