Hello Susann,

Welcome aboard. Glad you found us.

People pick different plans for their own reasons. Some like more structure, some like more flexibility, some like reward meals, etc.

I choose PP over Atkins because I felt it gave me a bit more flexibility at the start. I was afraid of failing with the more rigid Induction level of Atkins.

Atkins and PP are both based on sound science and good nutrition, so the mechanics behind them are very similar.

The secret to any of these plans is very simple...DRINK WATER. DRINK LOTS OF WATER. It's funny how something so simple can make all the difference in the world.

Good luck on your journey. PS, I see that you and I are both about the same age, same start weight, and dealing with "maturing" issues. One of the things that I was really concerned about was putting on "menopause weight". I'm happy to report that thanks to LCing this will no longer be an issue. Plus, there has been a noticable difference in the health of my skin, especially my face. It's grand to grow older gracefully!
