  • Introducing myself finally!

    :wave Hi ya'all!

    My name is JuJu, (short for Juwarriyya--because people get scared trying to pronounce it!), I'm 38 and this is not my first attempt at Atkins. I have been on and off the past year at least 8 times. This time however, has been different. Since coming here and reading all the posts, information and getting encouragement, I decided that I need to do this again and for real this time. So far, I am cheat free 4 days!
    My optimum goal is to lose weight to finally realize a dream of my hubby and mine that we want badly: to have a baby. The other reasons is that I am sick of being sick and tired, swollen ankles, barely being able to walk out of bed every morning and wearing fat clothes from Lane Bryant, Roaman's and the like. I also nee to lose weight to control my PCOS and my recent diagnosis of Hypertension.

    I work for Pizza Hut, live in Irving, Tx, been happily married 6 years to a great hubby I met thru an arrainged marriage, and aspire to one day go into nursing.

    :wave Hi JuJu,

    Sounds like you have good motivations and a good start if you are 1/2 way there. My weight loss is very slow but it is coming off. Take joy in every small success along the way and you will get to your goal. ha is a great place to find friends and encouragement.
