Hi I am a 43 year old female who has struggled with my wieght since I can remember. I have lost on Atkins before and it went very well for me. I have been stuggling with another diet that works but at the sametime does not work with my lifestyle so today I decided that I would go back to Atkins because that does work with my lifestyle and I do loose on it. I want to reach goal so badly and I have a closet of clothes to get back into so here goes. I am raising my two year old grandchild and I have a busy and happy life right now. My goal is to loose 43 to 50 lbs Today I wiegh a very unhealthy 188 lbs. I have a wonderful husband and great kids and I love my job. So here goes a journey to a better life and me! :-)
