hey my name is nicole. I am new to the site but not to the diet i have been off and on it for over 1 year. when i started i weighed 260. now i weigh 175. This diet can be hard at time but it truly works . it have canged my life for the better. i feel so much better i can do things i never dreamed i could do..i think i am a better person because of this diet.... i want to say to everyone out there that are thinking about starting this diet that if you stick to it, it will work for you...food was my life i though of it first thing in the morning and that was the last thing i thought of before i want to bed (sad HUh) but now i have a whole new look on food because of this diet...

thanks for hearing me nicole

Re: hey!

Hi Nicole. Welcome. Isn't it wonderful to finally be able to control your eating instead of it controlling you? Thanks for sharing your story.

Re: hey!

Hello there Sweetnicole and welcome!
Good for you taking your own 'legal' lunch to work. Ignore your colleagues if they give you a hard time... when you're at goal they'll be clamouring to know how you did it, and you'll be able to say that it was partly by bringing a low carb lunch to work!

I'm sure you'll have every success with Atkins and feel sure we'll soon be seeing you among the ranks of the goalies.
