    I can't believe it!!!

    I am SO glad I found this website!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    I have struggled all my life with my weight, and was diagnosed with type II diabetes, and even following my doctor's diet plan to the letter, I kept gaining weight - despite being very active and exercising regularly.

    I decided to give Atkins a try, and have been on it for 9 days and have lost 11 pounds!!!! I am just amazed at how EASY it is. I have no trouble staying on the diet or staying in ketosis, and I have more energy than I have had in years.

    Looking forward to losing more, and learning from everybody here! You're an inspiration!
