I had done Atkins successfully twice in the past, and have had great results the third and final time around. I also have never tried calorie-restricted or low fat diets. From what I have read from other members, a past history of these sorts of diets and yo-yo-ing, can slow your weight loss down. I'm not sure where anyone can say you get only one shot at LC....there are plenty of people on this forum that can prove that is not true at all.

Also, since you don't have much to lose, it will come off a lot slower than someone who has a lot of weight to lose. Be patient and remember that this WOE is about more than weight loss. It is about making choices to benefit your health.

Good luck, & welcome to the forum.
