Hi Everybody! My name is Marion, I am from Scotland and I am married to a soldier who is off to Iraq on Thursday for 4 months. When he comes home, I want him to NOT recognise me!! We are based in Germany, so I have no excuse for getting good cuts of meat.

I suffer from PCOS and know that sugar and carbs are a poison to my system. I did try Atkins once, about 10 years ago, but didn't get past day 4. However, now that I am older and wiser(!) I know that for the sake of my health, I really need to get through those first two weeks and change my life forever.

Wishing you all you wish for yourselves for 2009. Marion

Hi Marion

I think it's a brilliant idea to start Atkins now and will give you something to focus on whilst he is away. You will totally transform in that time. I dropped two dress sizes in two months so four months will be awsome!

I look forward to chatting to you in the coming weeks and wish your hubby a safe time in Iraq.

Zx

Welcome Marion! Good to have you with us.
Thinking of your husband's reaction when he gets home is sure to be very inspiring and encouraging. Great idea!

Happy losing!

Hiya

That is such and incentive to keep to this. You will amaze him when he sees you after all that time.

It's great seeing so many people roughly starting the same time here.

It's my first day!

Good luck to you all.
