Hi! I'm Sharon and just started yesterday.

[SharoninSpringHill]

This is my second time at Atkins. I took off 60 pounds 5 years ago and here I am again. I let life and stress kick my butt.

The first time I started at 205 lbs. and got down to 147 after 8 months. Bought a whole new wardrobe of size 8 and 10.

Over the next 4 years I put it back on, but slowly enough that I could ignore it or excuse it.

Now here I am at day two going through the incredible carbohydrate cravings, but hanging in tough!

50yrs - 5ft 4in. SW191/CW190/GW135

This is the first time I have found this website - I am hoping to get help and motivation here and give some of the same back.

This forum is great, to find support, motivation and much more... it's so much easier to follow something when you're not alone on it, and here the people are great at cheering

Good luck!
