    Intro..

    Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Laura, NYC, first time trying Atkins. I'm on day 4 of the induction phase.

    Currently at 5'5" - 215, size 14/16 - my goal is 140, size 4/6 (That was my previous weight/size 2 years ago.)

    It just kind of crept up on me. Never looked in the mirror too much, refused to buy too many clothes. Ten pounds here, five there - the next thing you know - I don't even recognize my own face. Ugh.

    After lurking for the past two weeks, I decided to join to gain support, friendships, encouragement and knowledge along the way. I'd also like to provide support and hopefully be able to encourage others.

    Thanks for reading and I'm happy to be here!

    Nice to have you here Laura.
    I know exactly what you mean by pounds sneaking up on you like that. It happened to me too. Of course I kind of had to admit that eating too much chocolate had something to do with it too. LOL
