Welcome!!! I am also a new member of this board. The support and encouragement given by members here is wonderful!! At age 55 I have finally decided that the weight will not go away by itself and I have to do something! I have been doing Atkins for about 7 weeks and have lost 20 lbs. so far. I have quite a way to go and need all the encouragement I can get.
Good luck to you. Whenever you feel the need, come to the forum and read the posts. They help give me the will to stick to my diet.
