Greetings and Salutations...

[CATBLUE]

Hi..

I'm here for the same reason everyone else is here. I'm over weight and I'm tired of it. So I'm making some changes. I've done Atkins once before but never reached goal or went on maintenance. This time I plan to make it a way of life. When I came to that decision I came looking for you folks.

I'll be 50 in just 6 short days and I remarried two years ago. I had done a fair job of staying in shape and watching things prior to the wedding but afterwards it seemed that there was no time to do anything. So I didn't. Lousy excuse, I know! But there it is. I made a choice not to take care of myself. Now two years later i've gained 20 pounds... At 5 foot two that's not pretty. So I'm committing myself to making a change.

I'm in my second week of induction and loosing well. 12 pounds actually. Which I didn't expect. But I've been eating more fish than I usually do and my husband and I stacked 5.5 cords of wood last weekend so I've been getting more exercise than my usual walk with the dogs.

Anyhow... This is getting long winded... So I'll just say "Hi! Glad to meet you all.... and I hope to not only lend support but receive a little as well.
