Hi...I'm new to this thread and have been on the Atkins for two weeks and lost 9 pounds. I "dumped" off on the 14th day. Today would have been day 17...well, I've read some of the threads and feel that this must be the one for me. I'm planning on "getting back on the train" after Easter. I hope that this is the one thread that I can count on for support. I'll admit it...I'm weak but I really want to get down the pounds that I need. I come from a family that is very large and I'm scared to death that it's gonna happen to me. I don't want that...so I'm here to say that Monday on ya'll will be hearing alot from me...Hope to hear from you...and Have a Happy Easter!!!
