My name is Clara and I have always been overweight for as long as I can remember, even in high school while I was a very active varsity tennis player(talk about awkward). I've been married for 13 years to a wonderful man who loves me for me. We have 3 wonderful kids! Sadly I am not home often because I work long hours, I start at 3pm and don't finish until about 3 or 4 am We are working on changing this though..hehe.

I am not new to atkins, I was on atkins years ago and had great results! However, I started to get dizzy and lightheaded alot so per the advice of my doctor I stopped atkins (wish I hadn't) and also started to eliminate certain meds I was on. Come to find out, it wasn't the atkins, but the depo shot that was causing the side effects! So here I am again, ready to do this again and make this my WOL! So Monday 6/9/08 was my start date and I am so excited! My hubby and kids are great in supporting me with this, although there is still tempation, I have done great so far!

That's me in a nutshell. Look forward to hearing from people

depo is the worst thing that has ever happened to me, I can't describe to you the amount of side effects I've encountered, including but CERTAINLY not limited to a 3.5 going on 4 month period.

I hope you don't take it anymore!!!!!!! I certainly will not continue, it should be taken off the market!

good luck on your journey, look forward to future posts!
