Default Goal met

A little over 5 months ago I looked in the mirror and wasn't happy with what I saw. To make a long story short, I decided to make a change and researched my options. I chose Atkins, bought the book, followed the directions, and now I've met my goal and lost 52 lbs. I realize that weight loss is a struggle for many so I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I've found this to be simple, straightforward, and ...dare I say it?....easy. Although I've not been a frequent poster, I have found many of the posts here to be extremely informative and helpful. Thanks to all.
