Hi, Rachael
First, I'm sorry to hear about your dad.
I can see how that would throw everything off-kilter.
I'm glad you've found us - if an active board is what you were looking for, you've come to the right place.
Our advice is based upon the 2002 version of Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. Have you read it yet? It's a great source of information and motivation. And if you haven't see this sticky yet, give it a look:

Good luck!
