Hello! I am new to this forum, having posted my introduction earlier today. I am so happy to have found you all! One of the things I am glad to see is this board for LC Parents. My husband and I will be starting Atkins in a couple of weeks, but my daughters will also be starting with us. I will not expect them to adhere to the WOE strictly or exactly like their daddy and I do it, but there will be only "Atkin's acceptable" foods in the house (besides milk since the 2 year old needs it and the 12 year old would have a fit if he didn't have it! ). The girls are both overweight. Meagan is 5' 6 1/2" and weighs 230 lbs. Caitlin is chunky, but I'm not sure about her height/weight. They both have to wear plus-size clothing. I think it will be good for them to have this WOE if it helps them to lose the weight as long as it does not comprimise their health. Anyone that is dealing with the same or similar situations, would you please tell me how you are handling this? Are there any concerns or things I should be aware of? Thanks so much!
