Hey Vicki...

Welcome to the board.. this is the best place for support you will find on the internet.. in my honest opinion...

I think the thing you need to do is make this a life change... if you go into Atkin's as a quick fix... it will be very hard for you... if you decide to change the way you eat... for life.. it will be much easier to deal w/ the up's/ down's ... stalls... and other things that go w/ it...

I've been doing Atkin's since July.. and i've never felt better about myself...

I hope you find the motivation that you need here on this forum...
