    Hi Everyone!

    Hi Guys! I've recently returned to atkins ( been on program for 1 month now, prev on plan several yrs ago) and have had great success so far! I'm down 15 lbs and feel great, not hungry etc! I am soooo happy to have found this board!! Yay!! I need a good pro-Atkins support group as everyone who finds out I'm on the Atkins way of eating expresses alarm and seems to try to dissuade me from staying on the plan labeling it as dangerous! I am an RN and have read both the research out of Stanford and University of Pennsylvania as well as several other studies that have in fact shown not only positive weight loss but lowered cholesterol levels as well. I personnally just had my cholesteral levels retaken last week after a month on program and they were down significantly. I'll post the actual numbers later.....I still need to bring them down abit more but I was thrilled!

    Anyway, I'm glad to have found everyone!!!!!!!
