Hi! My name is Carla, from Central NY. I started induction on Monday. I first did Atkins about 15 years ago, about a year after the birth of my son. I lost those stubborn 25 pounds of baby weight and kept it off until about 3 years ago. I had a major bout of depression (didn't recognize it at the time) and packed on 27 pounds! I haven't been able to shake it off, and a friend of mine told me she was goin to start Atkins this week, so I dusted off my book and we decided to do it together. DH jumped on the bandwagon as well on Tuesday.

I look foward to getting to know you all!

Oh no - there was about 50 pounds after pregnancy! I lost all but 25 of them pretty easily while I was nursing, but couldn't shake those last 25 after that, so Atkins helped me get that off. With my second pregnancy, I only gained 20 pounds and all that was gone within a month.

Thanks for the welcome!

Hello Carla.... nice to meet you and nice to have you with us.
How fun that you're doing Atkins with a friend. It makes a real difference to have someone to encourage and share with.

Happy losing!
