New and loving it!

[jacque_t]

I have to apologize for not doing this sooner, but better late than never! I have been on Atkins a total of 3-1/2 weeks now and have lost almost 10 pounds, leaving 55 pounds to go. This is the first time I have tried Atkins, although my BIL and SIL were on it and loved it. I have been on just about every other diet invented... Cambridge, Phen-Fen, Weight Watchers, etc. (MANY etcs.), and I wanted to give this a try. I am doing it along with my friend and we are keeping each other on track... I think that helps a lot.

I am 65 (as of this month), right now living in Barbados for work but am from Salt Lake City, Utah. I have 2 children of my own (twin girls), 2 stepchildren, 12 grandchildren, and several great-grandchildren. Also have 5 cats... 4 in Utah and 1 here in Barbados. I am an instructor of medical transcription and love my job!
