Hello,
My name is angela and this is my first post to this board. I was going to the forums at atkins.com but it was a little too snarky for me. So now Im here....I did atkins for the first time maybe 5 or 6 years ago and lost about 100lbs kept it off for a couple years then got pregnant with my first child (now 3 ) gained 65 pounds and started to lose weight again when my sone was 11 months I found out I was preggo with #2 so I ended up gaining 50lbs during that pg....started to lose it after the baby was born, then when HE was 3 months old I found out I was preggo AGAIN!!! Gained 40 more pounds. So, here I was 3 babies (3yrs, 18 months and 4 months) and at 282 pounds.

Me and my dh went on vacation may 5th when we returned from out vacation I was looking at pics and I came across a particulair pic that shocked me...I could not believe I was THAT big so right away I began the atkins way of life. Its been 2 months and I am down from 282 to 255 and feeling better than ever! I cant wait to share this journey with you guys
