Hi all! New to the board

Hi everyone! I'm new to this board (just found it last night) but not new to trying to lose weight. I'm a working mom to 2 wonderful teenage daughters and a wonderful wife to a man that doesn't deserve me LOL!( He's in the doghouse right now!) I have been overweight all my life and only recently, since having marital problems, did I finally take the time to take care of ME. My first step is losing these extra 100 lbs. I started with Atkins on Dec 15th and have lost 34 lbs so far. I've gotten kind of scared by all the recent negative publicity about Atkins so right now I'm just watching my carbs, trying to keep them low and not going crazy with the fats. I'm eating tons of chicken and salads. Anyway, I'm so glad to find this board and really look forward to getting to know you all .

Hi Grace and Welcome - Not new to the weight loss thingee here either. I, too, am on Atkins but have just come back to it from a 3 month hiatus. Looks like you're well on your way to a healthy life! Look forward to hearing from you!
