Hi, my name is Kristi. I have to make this intro quick, so I'll just say that I am so glad to be here, and to be embarking on an Atkins journey again. I really hope to make this my WOE this time, rather than just a diet to drop the pounds. Thanks for having me!

Re: New here too!
Thanks! Can't wait to get started.
A little more about me....I'm a 42yo mom of 3 (20, 18 and 11), married to the best guy on earth (sorry guys--no offense, I'm biased!). Back when I was probably 34-35, I was on Atkins and lost something like 29lbs. I was ecstatic, but didn't stick with it as a WOE. I'd like to do that this time, as I am (I believe) in peri-menopause--or something like it--and I'm having a hard time losing the 20lbs I gained back. I'd really like to lose about 30+ and maintain there--let's face it, I'm not getting any younger and I really need to not continue to gain 10lbs per year--so here I am.

Welcome Kristi!
It's good that you are thinking of Atkins as a lifestyle change instead of just a diet because that's what it's meant to be. And it's a great life!Aka Nyna

Re: New here too!
Thanks Blueberrylady! Love your name.
I suppose I never really thought of it that way before because it was easy to drop pounds, but I really do feel best when I eat low carb, and I'm hoping it will help me maintain my weight well once I've lost the pounds.~Kristi
