    Hi All

    As Tom has requested, I am taking the opportunity to introduce myself. I'm a fairly new member of the "over 40" club and have sadly resigned myself to the fact that the body I had all through life up to my later 30's is regretfully, not the body I have now. I have maintained a steady weight gain despite exercising, being active and limiting my intake. Nothing seems to work, so I am giving Atkins a try. A very serious try, I might add. I cleansed my house of carbs and have stocked up Atkins friendly food and am in my 5th day of ketosis. Or, what I think is ketosis, my appetite has greatly diminished and I have an incredible amount of energy.

    Anyway, that's my story. I am looking forward to hearing the trials and tribulations of other folks on Atkins!

      Re: Hi All

      Maybe she made a typo, and that was supposed to be "GatorTot". Lots of protein in gator, and no carbs!

      Welcome TaterTot, have a lot of fun here, ask questions and help others as they need it too. That's what we're here for... well, that and making ourselves the most fit that we can be.

      Don't be a stranger to posting. You'll find it's both rewarding and motivating to let others know how you're doing. It also helps to make yourself accountable knowing that others are keeping watch over you too.

      And, don't feel bad, I'm in the over 50 (ouch!!!!) club.

      Best of luck to you!

      Original goal: Lose 30 lbs by Mar. 1st, 2006. I made it!!!

      Calling it GOAL at this point. I'm happy with where I am now and hope to stay there, or maybe even take it down a little more.

        Re: Hi All

        Thank you all for the warm welcome. I haven't been in a forum in forever and I wasn't sure what to expect, but after reading the postings I was greatly encouraged to join and am really glad I have done so.

        It will be nice to share my triumphs and my discouragements with folks who are going through the same thing.

        Oh - by the way, Texas Taters are carb-free! LOL -- no, really, I have learned the best way to remember EVERY login and password I use is to keep them consistent.
