    Hey everyone!

    Hey there! I'm Vanessa (30) and I'm a returning Atkins after a 4 year "vacation" During that time I had 2 beautiful boys to keep me occupied. After having my boys back to back (2 1/2 yrs old and 11 months old)...I need to get back to some "me". While I LOVE being a mom, I find that I've lost a little bit of myself in becoming a mom. Seems like I have more time with the kids = less time for me.

    I have needed and wanted to slim down for a while, and I just decided to up and get myself in gear. I am on day 3 of the induction stage and have lost 3 pounds so far. I am very excited to lose this weight and get back the body AND mentality that is healthy for me!

    I can't wait to get to know all of you! I've read so much while I was waiting to be approved, this board seems like such a wonderful place to be! Glad to be here!

          Ha ha! I hear you on losing the boobs Mine actually deflated after breastfeeding, so now, whatever is left is a goner LOL! I'm ready to shed some thighs (inner and outer) and I need to lose the baby belly. I've been looking over some of the exercise forums and gotten some really good ideas, so I'm going to start doing some execises tomorrow

              I'm not exactly sure how the challenges work. Would it be too late for me to join since we are already heading towards the middle of the month?
