Hi My Name is Mary, I started the Atkins Diet in April on this year and have lost 30 pounds! I have been off the diet for 3 weeks now and have maintained so far so good. I felt I needed a break, but would like to lose another 5 to 10 pounds. I am a mom to 3 kids, Ben and Max are almost 9 and Ellee is 5, I also raised my husbands 4 children who are all grown up now and one is even married.
I was surprised at how easily I adjusted to the diet, and even when I was craving some junk food, I was able to fight off the urge. I did this on my own without knowledge of this site, and am happy to have found you for when I do need help or encouragement.
Mary
