Ready to Start!

[craisin81]

Hello Everyone!

I am a 27 year old female living in the DC metro area. I previously did Atkins in college and loved my energy level and the eating plan. It worked well for me until I graduated and started working a desk job. Let's just say 4 years and many happy hours later, I've got about 60 pounds to lose. While the weight loss is a major benefit, for me it's all about the journey to get healthy and stay healthy.

Hi Craisin.... welcome aboard! Nice to have you with us.

Congrats on returning to Atkins. If you felt well and energised before, you will again. Don't forget to add exercise back into the equation... it's a major help.
You're so right that this is about getting healthy and staying that way and I know it won't take you long to reap the benefits of Atkins once again.

Post lots and keep us in the picture. We're with ya!
