Hi susandendy........I am new to this forum but not to low carbing.......feel free to pm me anytime. I dont know how informative I can be, but I can sure be your cheerleader!......I have quite a bit to lose also.

Hiya Susan and welcome to the forums! Best of luck to you! :yay:

Hi Susan,
Welcome to the forum. I don't have much left to lose, but I have lost 44 pounds on Atkins and I'm a personal chef with experience cooking for diabetic patients.
I'll help out however I can.
I found the first 6-8 weeks of Atkins to be a very 'trying' as I was heavily addicted to sugar. I stuck it out with some great support and overcame my hurdles. You'll find lots of support here.
Kindest, Michelle

I too have a lot of Lbs to loose so believe me when I say:"I understand!!" :agree:

One of the best suggestions given to me when I joined this forum was to start a journal. It's a great place to communicate with your new friends. They can drop by anytime, see how you are doing & offer some advice and support.

Hope you drop by mine, I'd love to hear from you! :wave:
