  • Hi everyone!! I'm Sue "wave"

    Hi there.
    My name is Sue and I started the Atkins program on March 15th. Everything is going great. I'm in my 4th week of induction and have gotten rid of 14.2 pds and 18.75"!!!
    I feel great and am full of energy.
    I'm a single Mom and I have 2 children. One daughter who is 19 and lives with her boyfriend and a son who is 14 1/2. My son lives with me full time and he is enjoying what I've been cooking. He's a healthy eater so that is a bonus
    In the last 3 weeks I've been posting on the Atkins site and it's been ok, however I felt that there must be something else out here that would be more interactive and I believe I've found it. I've been looking at the site the last couple of days waiting to be able to post and I LOVE it.
    I was on Atkins MANY years ago in 1977. I was in the process of joining the Canadian Armed Forces and needed to lose 20 pds before going to boot camp. My Mom had heard of Atkins and we did it and I lost the weight in no time.
    Since then...in the last few years I've battled with my weight.
    WELL THIS IS IT....no more!!!
    I believe in this WOL and need no convincing
    I can't wait to get to know you guys better and become an active member of this site.
    One question...How do we get the BMI scale and Weight scale I see on some posts?
    Ok that's it for now...see you all on the boards.
    One day at at time...today I will do what I need to do to reach my goal.

          Hi everyone and THANKS for the warm welcome
          I found the ticker and thanks for that as well.

          I'm just off now to do a workout on my eleptical machine...first one. Should be interesting to see how long I can go.

          I started Power Yoga last Thursday and WOW...what a work out...I love it.

          So happy Saturday and Happy Easter to everyone.

          Hugs
