My starting weight August 2011 (not 2012) in FS was 224.

I am a 73 year old woman with a wonderful husband and family. This is the second time that I am starting the Atkins diet. When I started about eight years ago, my weight had gone up to 232 lbs. It came down very slowly to 210 lbs. Several years ago I had a small stroke and started to follow the WOE suggested by the hospital. Then, because of a lot of leg-pain, I thought to cut out most meats, ate only fish, whole grains and vegetables. That effort lasted only little while.
My weight went UP again (to 224). My daughter suggested the new Atkins plan. She is on it and almost at goal, so is her husband. What I like about this way of eating, it allows me healthy vegetables plus fish and chicken (my choices).

On the low carb way of life I expect to lose the weight and have several productive years ahead of me.

I still play a “mean” keyboard and lead worship at our local Calvary Chapel twice a month. God has been good to me.


Isa 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
