This is my first post as I have just found this forum. I can tell it is great already! My husband and I have been doing Atkins for 7 weeks today. He has lost 40 lbs. and I have lost 33. We were both at an all time high for our weights and knew that we had to do something. I have been on most anything you can think of at one time or another. I lost weight but would eventually get tired of being hungry all time and put it back on. Atkins is the only thing I have ever tried that satisfies my hunger. It feels like something I can modify my life too instead of just a temporary "fix." I also feel great! My husband just had his second total hip replacement in 9 weeks so he has an added incentive for losing weight. He wants to lose a total of 100 lbs. and I want to lose 80 so we have a long way to go. I am sure we will be using this site often. All support is appreciated!
