  • Coming out of lurkdom

    I've been lurking for months and decided it was time to register and introduce myself.

    I'm 45, female and have done Atkins in the past. The longest I've stuck with it was 9 months. Usually something comes along that throws me off track and I have such a hard time getting back to it.

    I started this WOE in mid April. Starting weight was 357. Current weight 300. I'm hoping in a few days to see a number starting with a 2 for the first time in 13 years. I feel good about losing nearly 60 lbs in 6 months. My blood pressure is down to normal, as is my blood sugar.

    And all my pants are loose.

            Hello Elffriend, nice to have you with us. Looks like you are doing marvelous. Congrats on the weight you have lost so far. It won't be long until you are hovering around your goal weight. being a part of this family we call ADBB helps so many to stay accountable and get to goal. You have definitely made the right decision by delurking. Enjoy the board and all the challenges that await you. be sure and let us know when the 2 shows up on that scale.
            Another pat on the back for getting your BP and blood sugar in line. Isn't Atkins the greatest?
