Hi!!
About me! I am a 40 something (cough) stay at home mommy to two beautiful children-boy/girl twins!! After having babies later in life-I was 40, my body has not recovered. And being home all day I just chow, chow, chow and I have gained too much weight. So, I am back on the Atkins diet again! I have tried it before with great results. The only thing I hate is that if you go from total Atkins diet back to unrestricted carbs you gain it all back in like 5 secs flat. But we can't have everything, right? So, this time I plan on staying on restricted carbs for the duration. I am hoping when I get skinny and feel good I will want to stay that way. In the past I have always done the Atkins diet before going on cruises, so once I got on the cruise it was carb overload, so I sort of set myself up to fail. Anyway, being rather tall, I was always so skinny and could eat anything I wanted and always had a great body. Now that I am older, it seems so much harder to lose weight. So, I am joining you all here and hope to get some great ideas about what else to eat-feel like I am eating the same old things and have some fun and most importantly, shed tons of weight!!
