Hello Kathy,
Welcome to the forum. I love Atkins and have had such good results with it as has my husband. He has lost 61 pounds and I have lost 56. I have done Weight Watchers in the past (am a life member) but it didn't work for me in the long run as I was always hungry. With Atkins it isn't like that...if you are hungry you are suppose to eat an allowed food. This is something I can do for life which is the ultimate "secret" for getting a diet to work. Most anything will work short term but you have to find something you can live with enough to change your lifestyle to. Atkins is it for me. You will like this forum. There is all kinds of information and support to be found. Let me be the first to wish you luck and say welcome aboard the low-carb wagon!
