Hi my name is Jenny and I am new to Atkins ( age 51 sw 213 gw 130) today is day 7 and I find it fun to be so creative with food. My husband is joining me in this lifestyle change and has lost 11 lbs in a week. I will weigh in tomorrow. I am in ketosis and showing mid to high in the purple. Last year I quit smoking and this year I plan to rediscover the old me (prehysterectomy) Wish me luck.

Best of luck Jenny! watch that purple doesnt get any darker on those sticks, the best place to be is traces, shows that you're not dehydrated, drin y our water and thats what to aim for.

Its great that you have a buddy system with your husband, i'm sure you'll both do great!

Hey Jenny! I had to laugh at that sentence, good luck with that, ok? Just kidding!

Quitting smoking was the single best thing you could do for yourself. Losing weight is the next. It's so nice to have you onboard. You will rediscover the old you because eating this way just makes you feel better. In all honesty, you will feel energetic, your skin will glisten and above all, you'l feel really good about you!

Keep us posted as to your progress.
