Hi, my handle is Lemonhead and I am new to this forum. I plan to start the Atkins tomorrow morning and hope to enjoy much encouragement from you all!!! I have a pretty hefty goal but if I just get rid of 20lbs I know I will feel better than I do now. Of course, I have a made rush to try and lose weight for a wedding I am in, in June. BUT I decided not focus on pounds and just losing for a wedding but more for changing my life I am 30 years old but feel like I am a overweight 60 year old. I want to play with my kids rather than lay in front of the TV allday with a carton of EDY's Icecream. Oh well, this is my first time using a forum and I hope this will be a key to my success!!! I need some watchdogs!!!
