Hi Janei,

I am new too but not to dieting. I think I must have tried 10 different diets over the years. I don't have a lot of will power I admit. The first 2 times I tried Atkins I got sick. I still want to try it again though. Well I am set for starting it on the second week in January. I am on a plan now that is like Atkins maintenence but I still get hungry, so I think I will try the Atkins induction one more time. another problem I have is my husband. I find it almost impossible to diet unless he cooperates. I know, excuses, excuses, but he needs to lose a lot of weight too and I want to cook for both of us. He has finally said he will do it with me. So wish me (us) luck!
