    Hey Newbie Here

    Hey, I'm really excited to find a place that has so many people to help support you on this diet. I did Atkins once before about 2 years ago when I was 20 and lost 50 lbs, but of course being young and turning 21 I gained back about 40. So now I am back on Atkins. This time around though I'm not looking at it like a diet but a lifestyle change and so far...well truthfully that hasn't helped at all because I'm only 1 week in and pretty misserable, but I know it will get easier.
    my stats are
    Current weight: 270
    Goal weight: 150

    AHHHHHH!!!!!! I have a lot of work to do LOL

    I am exercising, I go hiking every weekend and I walk on the tredmill 4 times a week (OK OK 3 times a week, but sometimes 4). And I am a total water freak, I must drink atleast a gallon a day (my ONE good habit).

    Well I hope to get to know you all, I know I will need the support.

            So how's it going? You gave me some encouragement earlier and it sounds like we're about at the same point of starting. Hope you're feeling motivated and staying strong. You sound very motivated about exercise and water...I struggle with both of those, so I commend you!!! Keep up the good work!!! Carol S.

              It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




              I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!
