Westcliffe05 is on a distinguished road
Smile I'm new...

Hello,

I am new to the forum and semi-new to Atkins. I have been on this diet once before but quit after a couple weeks. I had started it right after having my son and through tiredness and exhaustion I caved in and ate whatever I wanted to. I am mentally in the right place to start now - and plan on starting Wednesday of this coming week (Tuesday is the soonest I can get to the grocery store to buy the foods I need). I gained 60 pounds during my pregnancy and have lost 30 of it just naturally I guess. The remaining 30 is hanging in there and driving me crazy. I refuse to buy new clothes and am determined to lose this 30 so that I can be where I started at. My son is 21 months now - there is NO excuse for me anymore for not sticking with the diet and exercise I am very excited that there is a forum where we can all support each other!
