I've been lurking here for a while reading posts and finally decided to post tonight.

I'm 45,single and a mom of 2 grown sons and a new grandmother to a 4 month old baby boy.

Hey there Perfectfit... welcome aboard! It's cool that you found us and decided to de-lurk! Congratulations on the newest addition to your family!

Roam the board some, check out the various fun challenges and other activities and make friends. You'll find everyone very supportive here and there's a wealth of information to be had.

If you haven't already done so, I'd suggest you read the book (Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution - 2002 edition ). It's very helpful to understand how Atkins works.

Looking forward to reading of your successes!

Hi perfectfit! Happy Canada Day! We always love it when people stop lurking and start to post! Wow, you're the second person today whose Dr actually told them to do Atkins! Honestly, eliminating carbs from your lifestyle is the sure way for you to lose weight. Post often so we can see your results!

[GaynorA]

Yup ... let's hear it for the GPs who are open minded and willing to actually look into Atkins to see how it works. Yay for them!!!!!!!! And yay for you Perfect Fit. We are here rooting for you. Can't wait to hear your excited posts when your smaller size clothes start fitting, and your friends and family start noticing, and your doctor is all thrilled and everything. Ooohhh ... I'm so excited for you. This is going to be GREAT.

Hello Perfectfit,

Wow, you have a wonderful incentive to lose weight...a new grandbaby to chase after. I bet by the time he is ready to run, you will be able to run with him. Welcome to the board!

I have PCOS (which I HATE!!) and am well over 350 pounds and quite possibly over 400 pounds. I start Induction today (Canada Day) and hope to have at least 100 pounds off by the same time next year.
