Hi Dan! Welcome to the board
When I'm having a hard day with Atkins, this forum really helps me out and gets me motivated. There are several people here that are close to their goal weight, so it's not impossible, though I know sometimes it may feel that way. You can lose the weight; you have to decide, in your own time, when or if you want to give up the overeating. How do you benefit from being overweight? Are you willing to give that up to be healthier? These are questions I've asked myself just to keep me honest.
Good luck!
