Hi! I joined this site about a week ago! I've been doing Atkins diet for 4 weeks, and have lost 10 lbs. I tried Atkins successfully 2 other times. The first time I lost 30 lbs. The second time, I lost 20 lbs. I put the weight back on, and then some. I think my problem is that I set goals, and then, once I reached those goals, I quit the program. So, this time I'd like to be in it for life. I started at 264 lbs, and weighed today at 254. I'm female, 5'9", 41 years old. I'm really enjoying how I'm feeling. I'm rarely hungry, I've been sleeping better, I don't have heartburn as much. I signed up for My Fitness Pal to help with carb counting and track my weight. MFP is not really geared towards low-carbers, but they have almost every food on here. I've noticed that I've been taking in 1200-1600, which is definately a cut in my caloric intake, but without the side effect of hungriness. My husband is very supportive, and makes meals specifically for me. But, him and our 4 children are not dieting, so it would be great if I could find some online support here! Also, I'm a huge fan of Zumba, so if anyone on here is a Zumba-fanatic, I'd love to be friends, too!
