I weigh about 257 - my scale may not be accurate - and I need to lose weight. I know I am an emotional eater. I eat to avoid feelings of loneliness, sadness, anger, hurt - just about all feelings. I've used Atkins successfully before and am going to start on it on Jan. 2 when a friend wants to begin her diet. I am hoping dieting with someone will help me stick to it. My excess weight is affecting my health and I have too many risk factor for heart trouble to just let myself continue to gain. I'm looking for encouragement from others who also have a lot to lose.

Susie,
Welcome to the board. I am new myself & after I introduced myself, I dissapeared for a couple of weeks. I used those weeks to stuff my face with every imaginable piece of candy, cake, brownie, etc. possible! The holidays are emotional for me & I am also an emotional eater, so I ate... and ate and ate and ate! Since Thanksgiving, I've gained 12 pounds!!! So, today I jumped on my treadmill, which I haven't used in weeks & I packed my lunch (helps me control what I eat) and here I am. 12 pounds heavier, but ready to lose it (and more). Keep coming back to the boards. It helps you stay motivated!
Welcome to the board. Atkins wouldn't really be my choice for a diet (I know I'll lose a lot, but eventually I will binge like crazy). But if it works for you, then go for it! It is great that you have a diet buddy. And don't forget, you have a bunch of us here on the look to give and receive support & advice.
