Hello Everyone!

[southernGAL]

I wanted to introduce myself. I on my 5th day of the introduction of the diet. So far so good. I am from the great State of Tennessee. I have struggled with my wieght for the past 5 years. I had a pituitary tumor that caused me to gain allot of weight. Luckly was able to have tumor removed in 2005.
I gained about 80 lbs and hope to lose all of it. I tired of not feeling good!
My starting weight was 210 and today I weighed 204. My goal is to 130-140.
I need all the help I can get to stick with it.
Love the site glad I stumbled on to it.

Hi SouthernGAL....

Glad you've found this site. It is the best motivation and encouragement you can get for helping you change old ways and make new healthy habits. Everyone here is great at giving support and advice. Have you read Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, edition 2002? Its great to read in Dr. Atkins' own words how the program works and what to do.

You'll find lots of information, challenges, journal, before/after photos and stories and health/life issues that will help you on your journey. We're all here for you and want to see you succeed. This program really works if you do it as Dr. Atkins suggested. Best wishes, keep us posted on your progress!
