Thank you so much for your help. I REALLY want this to work but I fear my metabolism is very slow. I've been on every diet known to man kind.

My highest weight was 300+, I lost 150 lbs and kept it off for over 10+ years. We had a tragic event happen in my family 5 years ago which I then put back on 80 lb + sigh ~ I'm struggling like there's no tomorrow. I have struggled my entire life.

I started Atkins hoping and praying that the scale just move down instead of up. I'm not looking to lose 10 lbs a week (although it would be dreamy lol ) but I would like to be off to a faster start and then taper like I see so many of you have.

My questions may seem redundant and tiredsome to you all but to me this is something new and I really don't want to screw things up again.

I want success !!

Your kind words and help has and will go farther than you know.

Hugs !!
