Hello everyone. My name is Lynn and this is my first post. I just wanted to say hello and that I love reading everyone's words of wisdom and shared thoughts. I have been doing Atkins for over a year now and have lost 145 pounds. I tried everything known to man and nothing else worked for very long.My goal is to weigh 140 pounds by next summer. It would be wonderful to meet people that have the same goals that I do and be able to have buddies to share ups and downs with. I hope that others will take the time to get to know me. I always have an ear to listen so if someone needs to talk, I am always here. We all need support in our life so hopefully I can help others as well as be helped. I look forward to the challenge ahead of me and embrace it with open arms. I hope everyone reaches their goal and accomplishes what they set out to do and never stop dreaming.
