Hello fellow Low Carbbers, glad to be amongst you.

[Lacypie]

Hi , I am a 42 yrs. old, and so glad that I have found this ADBB. This is my second time around with Atkins. the first time i lost 30 lbs. and cannot even recall why I fell off the low carb woe. I just know, that I did, big time.
But the good news is I am back and better than before. I have learned a few things that i never quite got , before. One, for the first time in my life, I am able to tell when I am Satisfied. I used to clean my plate and go back for more.. but because of Atkins, I learned to pay attention to my eating habits. and not being starving all the time, because my blood sugars are finally in check, i can stop eating when i am satisfied. How good does that feel.. man, i am in controll for the first time! I feel like yes, I am going to make it this time. This will be a way of life for me from here on out. I love how my clothes fit better , heck.. how my skin fits better!!! I have more energy, and my self confidence is going up as my weight goes down. What a feeling.
I will say that it is comming off a little slower this time, but I am post surgical menopause, so it only makes sense .. but no matter, nothing is stopping me from reaching my goal.. .. We Can Do It Together.

Lacy I understand the hormone slowdown thing. I am in it too (I am 4 and it stinks. But having said that I am still losing. Welcome back.

Hi Lacy I'm 29 with 19 years experience, and yup, it gets harder to lose as you age....in my case perimenopause. BUT, we have learned patience at this point in life....a little compensation
Welcome aboard!!
