New Member Shout Out from Raleigh, NC

[tessypoo]

Hello Atkins Members,

I am new to the Atkins program, so will need all of the help I can get. I am 55 YO, living in Raleigh, NC and have tried every diet known to man. I have lost the same 75 pounds at least 10 times, and am looking for a lifelong solution to my weight problem. High triglyceride levels and c-reactive protein scores, plus a knee issue, help me know that I must make a change in my lifestyle to lose weight and keep it off...plus I have a great physician who keeps nudging me.

So, I will read all of the advice listed, get the book and start down the Phase I induction trail to see what I can do, hoping to get from 328 to an interim goal of 250 to a final goal of 170. Thanks for the support! Tessypoo

Welcome Tessypoo,

I am also 55 and just started one week ago. I love the AWOE. It has really made a difference for me. Just this year alone, I gained weight on WW, and on SB, and on several other Low Fat plans. Even gained on one my Dr. suggested. I can't wait to go back in for a check up and have the scale show a lower weight.

I have a DD living in the Triangle area, South of Raleigh. I love NC and hope to make it my home in the future.

KC

Hi Tessypoo,
Also a fellow NC resident here; I live in Kernersville but I attend church in Durham, just next to Raleigh. Welcome to Atkins! I've only been doing it for a little over a month now and I lOVE it. I've found the apetite supression that comes with induction to be quite wonderful, that has been a major help to me with this way of eating. I hope you stick with it and have wonderful success in making this a lifestyle change.
