Living on a meat farm just about ensures your success on Atkins LOL !!! WElcome aboard!

Like you I used to be skinny. It was a whole change in metabolism and age, and quitting smoking etc etc - and I seemed to balloon up over night.

Make sure you visit all the sections along the orange bar at the top of your screen. There are lots of tips and tricks and other good things.

All the low carb plans are slightly different, glad you've chosen one to stick to, it can get a bit confusing otherwise.

Hang in there - Atkins works!!!
