    finally posting

    hello...well I've been reading posts on this website for many years now..and have tried atkins off and on..but I've realized that I have to fully commit myself in order for this to be a success. I can't remember a time in my life when I haven't worried or thought about my weight...and it's sad to think that it could take over your life..but it honestly has. Summer is fast approaching..and i'm itching to go on a shopping spree..but I need to lose this weight before I do! I'm about 5'3...150lbs...my goal is to lose around 25lbs..it seems impossible to think of weighing 125lbs right now..but I know it can and will be done Good luck to all..and I hope to hear from you!

    Re: finally posting

    Welcome lilsoup12! Glad you've introduced yourself and come to join us. You have the right attitude..its a change in your negative habits and incorporating new healthy actions into your life. Have you read the book, Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, edition 2002? Its filled with case studies, program information and recipes from Dr. Atkins. I recommend you read it so you understand how Atkins works and learn how to lose the weight and keep it off.

    We're all here for you, its much easier to have support and encouragement from others who are making it happen in their lives. I look forward to hearing all about your success.
