    Glad to be here!

    I started Atkins 2/21/07. I found your board within a week of when I started, but I've only lurked until now. I tried Atkins several years ago, and it did work, but I was messing with the rules and gave up. Your board has made such a difference. I'm doing it right now and it really works. I don't think I would have been able to do as well without the support (whether you knew you were giving it to me or not.) I love being 32 pounds lighter, but even more than that is the way I feel. I don't sneeze all the time now. I don't have indigestion or heart burn at night. Even my TOM is much easier on me. Thanks for being here for me, and maybe I can encourage someone else like ya'll have done for me.

        Thank you!
        The name came because I've lost half a shoe size. I've about walked out of my old shoes. I really would rather the weight came off my waist, my feet weren't ever that big, but I guess it comes off wherever it comes off. I have lost 5 inches in my waist, so I'm grateful for that.
        Last August, my doctor wasn't happy about my blood pressure or blood sugar. I went again a couple of weeks ago, and both are fine now. I have a 16 year old son and a 12 year old daughter, so I have to stay healthy to keep up with them.
        Thanks again for the warm welcome.
