  • Newbie to the board

    Hi Everyone!

    I have been lurking for a while and finally decided to join in!

    I'm Karen. I am a 38 year old SAHM of 2. I have been on Atkins since August 2003 when I was diagnosed with Insulin Resistance/PCOS. Last summer I had gotten down to 159! Then I hit a major Plateau and ended up with a Hysterectomy in October of 2004. That hysterectomy has put me on a major rollercoaster ride with the commitment. But I am back at it again!

    I just restarted induction and have been looking for a place to post for support. The place I used to post has become a board of excuses and I dont want to go there anymore, I only have 43 pounds to go and it is coming off!

    I am looking forward to sharing with you all.
    Karen

                  Welcome to the board. I'm glad you decided to come out of the shadows. Post often and ask questions, you won't find a more supportive group of people.

                  Good luck.
