Hi Everyone!

[happymouse]

I'm new. Started the Atkins induction diet 4-25-2008 . I'm a diabetic and I hate to check my blood sugar because its always so High it was over two hundred
even with medication I waited until today to check it and It has gone down to 153 and for me thats excellent.
I realized that sharing a diet is important. I have to do this for life so I need all the encouragement I can get.
My starting weight was 239 I'm 5'3" I'm now 235
I'm Kathi I'm 62 years old and retired after 2 strokes.

You are doing a great thing getting this diet under your belt and also getting your diabetes under control. Diabetes is such a devastating disease. My mother has it and I am fighting so hard not to get it. I wish you the best of luck.
