Hello my fellow thin questers.

[thurkettle]

I am finally ready to do something about being uncomfortable in my own skin. This isn't about losing weight for me, I want the whole package- health, feeling good, energy and,Ok, I really do want to drop 40+ pounds too. I am excited because I feel Atkins can deliver this. It truly is unlike any diet that I've tried before and It is completely doable without feeling deprived. This is a great place for fellowship, support, direction and more and I am glad to be a part of it. I look forward to seeing much less of everyone in the future!

I am with you thurkettle and that was one reason I wanted to get back on Atkins. I was tired of my stomach getting in the way when I sit down, tired of being tired, and tired of having stupid health problems that could easily be addressed by a change in my eating. I have not lost anywhere near what I wanted to lose thus far--BUT I feel great. I have tons more energy, I am exercising, which I never did before, and I am a happier person. Despite only losing 11 pounds, I have dropped two clothing sizes and that is probablly the biggest shocker of all. We can all do this together, I just know it.
