First, I hope that no one takes offense to my request. I'm a Christian and that affects every area of my life. I like to share and interject my Christianity in my WOE, too. And that can be a bit too much for some.

So, I'm 45 yrs old, a grandma (my kids are all grown and gone), I live in NC, I'm unemployed - currently job seeking. My DH and I moved to NC last August. We're still not connected to a church and don't have any close friends.

I was on Atkins close to a year ago for about a year. I'd gotten under 200 lbs and felt super. Felt so good that I went back to my old habits. Like an alcoholic, I completely feel off the wagon and have had no urge to get back on it until now. I realize that I must make long-term WOL changes or I'm always going to be unhappy and probably die young.

I'd love some Atkins friends to check in with. I think accountability will really help all of us.

Hope to hear from you soon. God bless,
Randi
