Hi everyone, I just started Atkins today. I had only been about 20 pounds overweight and was fine there and stable for a long time, but my weight started creeping up lately and now I need to lose 45 pounds.

I think low carb is the only way for me to realistically stick to a diet at this point - I enjoy sugar too much! I love the loss of appetite on low carb, but at least until I get into ketosis there's so much to choose from. What a great diet!

Anyway, it's nice to know there are others out there doing the same. Nice to meet you!
