Hello! I am new to this board, and Atkins. I just wanted to introduce myself. I started Atkins about 2 weeks ago and have lost 9 pounds. I had a baby back in May, and gained a lot of weight. I am actually down to the size i was before my pregnancy, but i had quite smoking before i got pregnant, and gained an extra 30 lbs. My doctor actually advised me to go on this diet because of high cholesterol, and he told me that i am prediabetic. I have other medical issues that won't allow me to go on any meds for the cholesterol, so he suggested this. I am staying on the induction to try and loose the weight, but felt that i needed a little support to continue. I look foward to getting to know you all, and just wanted to say that these boards have been very helpful and informative. Thank you all! Lisa
