  • New To Atkins As Of 4/17/07

    Hello everyone, my name is Lee and I'm trying Atkins for the very first time. I've been on it for about a week and so far the only problem I had was when preparing my daughter's evening snacks of fruit putting on or two in my mouth. But, I've stopped since I got on the scale and realized that I gained another 20 pounds, since given birth in 2003. So, I'm on my way to losing weight and learning how to keep the weight off.

    I currently weigh 240 pounds and I hope to lose 110 or 100 pounds. I figured since it took me about 10 years (started gaining weight in my 30's), I have time to lose the weight. Ok, I want to lose about 20/40 by the end of May for a wedding and/or by the beginning of June for a family party.

    So, I've been reading your bulletin and sent the link to other people at work since they are also doing the Atkins diet. It turns out that 4 people are doing the Atkins diet and one is considered our Guru since she already lost about 60 pounds last year and has keep most of the weight off.

    That's all for now, got to get myself back to work. Talk to you later,

    Regards to all,
    Lee
