I'm going to be 40 in May 2002 and don't want to be "Fat 'n' Forty"!

Been dieting on and off for 15 years. Tried lots of plans. Most successful was Jenny Craig 10 years ago (lost 35 pounds in 5 months) but you have to buy their fat reduced food and when I moved away from Vancouver to the UK I found it wasn't available here!

Since moving to the UK I have gained 80+ pounds.

I am now on day 6 of Induction on the Dr Atkins plan and have lost 4 pounds.

I was a bit confused about the vitamins. I caught cold on Weds and was concerned that I couldn't treat it my usual way - lots and lots of effervescent vitamin c and soluble aspirin. Have since bought some sugar free vitamin c tablets so will fight the cold as per normal!

Bye for now!

Thanks for this great site and forum! I've been looking around and found lots of answers to questions.
