I'm new

Hi everybody. Tomorrow will be my first day on Atkins. I have the book and really feel like this is something I can do. I'm a 48 year old female, 5' 9" tall and weigh 200 pounds. This is the heavyiest I have ever been. I quit smoking 6 months ago and now I'm going through menopause too. Just my luck!! I vow to have a good attitude and get this weight off of me!!! I know it won't be easy but I have got to do something. I would really like to get to 145 pounds....I'm not sure how realistic that is, but it's what I really want.

Welcome!

I started Atkins and menopause at the same time, too. I think doing Atkins helped with my having no symptoms of menopause.

Good job on quitting smoking!!!

Looking forward to hearing how you get on.I found induction for the first few days hard only due to brain fog and felt a bit quiet if that makes sense but after the 4th day felt great and have lost 13lb! just struggling right now due to TOM lurking! Good luck!
