High everyone my name is Vicki and I just started the Atkins diet on December 27. I'm married a I have four kids who are all are grown- up. Our three daughters have families of their own now and they gave us six beautiful grandchildren. My son lives with us he was in an auto accident six years ago and has suffered a brain trauma he doesn't talk and is unable to walk. He does know what's going on around him at least we think he does. He watches tv and smiles at our jokes.

I'm unemployed at the moment and have been for the last six months. Which is when I stared putting on all this weight.
I used to walk six miles a day plus I would walk on my elliptical for an hour in the evenings. Now I get out of breath just climbing a flight .

Goals:

1). Lose 2 to 3 lbs. a week and stay under 20g of Net Carbs

2). Remind myself daily on why I'm doing this diet.

* To get myself healthy so that I can enjoy doing things again without getting out of breath.

*. To look better in the mirror and to other people.
