OK, here goes. This is my first posting. I'm not new to Atkins, but it's been awhile (couple of years). I've always believed in the principles, but get slack as time goes on. I hereby vow (picture hand raised) that I'm here to stay this time. I'm actually more interested in the lifetime maintenance phase than I am in the actual weight loss phase this time. I know from past experience that if I follow the plan the weight will come off. I need to commit to learning the carb counts and some of the finer points that I never bothered with before. I've got the hubby on with me, so that's additional motivation as he is heavier than I am and therefore I worry about his health in general. I've got support from a few other corners of the family as well which helps, as we can share new found information. I picture us all on the beach in Mexico in our bathing suits when we all reach goal. However, one more time my goal is to learn the WOE for life, not just for the weight loss portion. I want to get the whole thing engrained so that it's automatic when I reach that phase. Please share the lesser know Atkin's secrets and principles when the mood strikes. I'm happy to be aboard!
