Thank you for the welcome Liv! I chose Atkins because my husband's co workers are currently about 5 months in each and are having huge success. I figured with first hand accounts like that, who could say it doesn't work as long as you do it. It convinced my husband (who has never dieted either in the past 18 yrs we've been together) to bite the bullet also.
My biggest concern with their loss compared to my hopeful future loss is that they are both men. I wonder if you know if Atkins works as other diets do as far as the men usually lose quicker than women thing? Just a curiosity.
Thanks again for the welcome!
