    Howdy from Central PA!

    This is my 3rd or 4th time around.

    1st time was unbelievably successful. Went from 210 down to 160.

    The other times were not as successful. I'm getting older, methinks.

    Trying to drop from 188 back down to 160-170 this time.

        Welcome back to Atkins Dougmeister! Glad you decided to re-commit to this way of eating.

        Yes... it's sooooo unfair that as we get older the lbs disappear slower, but they do still disappear if you do this programme the way it was planned by Dr Atkins. I'm sure they'll disappear for you too. You just need that little bit more patience than previously.

        Take a stroll around the board... there are lots of fun things going on: Exercise challenges, journals, low carb recipes, health chat.... all pretty motivational. Why not take the plunge and join in something!

        Keep us posted as to your progress... we're behind you 100%!
        Before and after:
