Hi there Angie.....

Lots of good advice there from Nat!

I'm a little closer to your age....52, and Atkins is definately working for me. I invite you to read the beginning of my journal, because I had a bit of a tough go of it in the beginning. Just took my body a while to get used to the new way of eating.

As far as the ketosticks go...lots of people lose weight and never record being in ketosis. Don't worry too much about it. If you know that you are following the plan, that's good enough!

Hope to hear from you again soon.
