Hi to everyone from a new low-carb couple!

[abileneamy]

Hi!!
Amy and Stuart here. We are re-starting Atkins in the morning and just finished our carb blow out feeling very bloated and ready to start feeling better after a few days of induction.

I (Amy typing) lost 52 lbs four years ago on this WOE and now my hubby and I are dedicated to getting healthy and lean. I am a high school teacher on summer vacation and Stuart has gone back to school full-time to be a computer programmer. We're both at our heaviest weights right now and having back and foot problems among other complaints. It is great to find a place like this where we can all share our experiences and support each other!

Welcome to both of you! I am still trying to convert my Husband to Low Carb. I Just can not convience him it is not a diet! Of course he thinks, "I will lose weight", and he does. He lost 50lbs. from Jan 1 -June 1 just by cutting back... buggar!
I gain if I smell chocolate!!! Maybe someday though I will convert him, it sure would make cooking a lot easier. Right now I am cooking 2 different meals every meal.

SUE! Thanks for the welcome. I don't think I could handle cooking two meals, so I know I'm lucky that Hubby wants to do this! I'm trying to get him to read the book so he will be intellectually invested. But I am thankful that he is even remotely interested. We'll see how I feel about him when he drops the lbs twice as quickly as I do!!! BTW, I know what you are saying about chocolate! It is the bane of my existence.

Welcome, my husband and I are doing this WOE together and is has made all the difference in the world. We do our walks together and it gives us time alone to talk and unwind. We're cook together and when one of us doesn't feel like cooking the other one steps in. I'm the only one online though and he hasn't read the book. He justs expects me to tell him exactly what to do. I'll see you around. Kathie
