Talking I'm Barb, I'm 50+, and I'm a carboholic

It's a sad story. I have been skinny as a rail most of my life. In fact it wasn't until my 30s that I actually weighed enough to fit cloths nicely and people stopped saying I was too skinney. Then in my 40s I got a little bike tire around my middle. Now I seem to have motorcycle tires around my middle. Sadly I look like my mother.
I'll not have this! I'm working my way back to my 40 year old weight of 145. I think that's ok for a 5'8" gal. Who knows ... maybe I'll want to go down further when I get there.

Welcome Barb, to our "youngsters" corner of the board!
Don't worry... you'll soon be where you want to be. All you have to do is follow the plan to the letter.
Happy Atkins journey!

Man does your story sound familiar. I'm a dude and I'm a carboholic. And a chocoholic.

I spent ten years in the army, graduated Honor Grad from basic training, Arctic Survival School, Observation Helicopter Maintenance School, and went to Air Assault School (missed honor grad there by . . .that much LOL) and used to run 10 k runs for fun, and ran the mile and two mile in high school track. I was a lean mean pair of jeans.

Then when I went to college in my thirties (late bloomer) the weight started sneaking on and by the time the forties ran around and I found myself sitting in a classroom teaching middle school english, things got out of control.

But, like me, you've started a new marathon. ..and it's the right one. Stay good, stay focused, stay carb free!
