Finally decided to join!

[Doingit409]

I have been on this site for a while now reading about everyone's successes and struggles and I figured it was time for me to join. I started Atkins back in March of 2008. I've been on and off since then (mostly off). I started off weighing 217 pounds and I am now down to 177. I still have a long way to goal. I would like to weigh somewhere around 125-130. I'm only 5'2" so I think that will be a good weight for me. I just joined a gym so I am hoping that will help me shed the last 50 pounds I have to lose. I think all of the before and after pictures are amazing!! They really give me hope that I can do it!

Welcome to the board! And congrats on your loss so far! You will find the encouragement you need to succeed here so jump right in.

Maybe join an exercise challenge or two since you're already going to the gym. Good luck!

Welcome !!

Yes, this truly is the best board for Atkins, everyone is so friendly and
helpful.

And yes this diet or way of eating truly does work, I did it before about 4 years
ago and lost 16 pounds in 2 weeks... then for some unknown reason I stopped : (

But it does work when you work it.

Best of luck !

Welcome aboard, Doingit!

Hey, if you'll check out the stats in my siggie, you will see that ours are very similar. I'm 5' 2.5" and started Atkins at 215, and reached my goal of 125 on 11/11/07. So yes indeed! It can be done.

Good luck to you!
