  • Hi everyone....

    This is my first post on this site. I actually could post in a number of different areas of ADBB, but I thought I would start here. I am 57 F, live in MN. and sick and tired of the extra weight. I could lose over 100 lbs. , my Dr. says if I get down below 200 he would be happy with that! He's kinda cool that way...but then again I don't think I have been in Onederland since I wore diapers!!!And I would love to be in Onederland before I have to start wearing them again! So when I get there, I will reassess then!!!

    Anyhoo, I am not new to Atkins. I lost about 40 lbs. 5 years ago, quit losing for about 3 months, so I gave up. Now I think I am armed with more info, so I hope to get beyond that point. I have been playing around with LC for a month and have lost 14lbs, so I am thrilled about that, just thought I needed to have a place to be accountable..LOL! Weight loss has been very slow this time...used to lose that in the first couple weeks...now it's taken me a month to accomplish! GRRRRR.....

    Hope to find lots of answers, maybe help someone along the way, and find friends and comrades to share with!! And maybe even some fellow MN's too!!

    Beginning weight before LC...283
    CW..269
    First mini goal...260(Apr. 26)
