Hi everyone! I'm not new to Atkins, but I'm fairly new to this site. Everyone has been great, and I appreciate the support I've received thus far.

Quite frankly, I'm just tired of continually feeling bad about myself. My husband is extremely in-shape (he does cardio and weight training 4-6 days a week), but he has always been very supportive of my endeavors. Thankfully, he loves me for who I am, not how much I weigh.

I've always been overweight, but in the last ten years or so, I've gained about 125 pounds. Nothing seemed to help me lose until I started Atkins in July 2003. Unfortunately, I didn't stay with it, and I gained my lost weight back, and then some. As of April 19, 2004, I'm fully committed to this lifestyle and I look forward to great success in the future.

I feel better knowing that I'm not alone in this battle, and I look forward to getting to know all of you better.
