Hello Everyone

[Maureen24]

I just want to say hello to everyone,
I am in Tasmania Australia, and very excited about learning all about losing weight with the Atkins program,I need to lose a lot of weight after having many yearsof taking steroid medication because of an undiagnosed illness,which caused me to have several attacks a week.
I was very fortunate to find a doctor who recognised what was wrong, and I am so pleased to say I am finally off all the medication,but I have a big weight issue to deal with. and I am looking forward to doing this program.my weight is in Kgs and my goal is to get under the 100Kgs to start with, and then I will take it from there depending how I am looking and feeling.
I am looking forward to reading all the success stories and sharing all the posts with you all.
Thank you.

Maureen

Re: Hello Everyone

Thank you Norah,
I have to say I seem to be eating more now than before, and I am going shopping today to make sure I have all the right foods to plan my week ahead.
I have a lot of weight to lose , but I will be happy to take it as it comes, as this has to be a way of eating for life.
Have a great week.
Maureen
