Hi - My name is Donna. I'm 31, married, work full-time and attend college full-time. I'm a vocal Music Major.

I have am preparing for an Opera in October and want to take off 30-40 pounds by then. I'm the lead Soprano and I don't want another picture taken of me at a performance that I can't be proud of.

I had lost 30 pounds last year and 2 sizes. Gained 7 back last semester and now have started the Atkin's Plan for the next phase of my revolution.

I'm glad to be here and look forward to learning alot from fellow lowcarber's.

I weigh somewhere around 233 right now, almost a size 18, I'm 5'7" - long legs, short waist, very muscular. My goal weight is 150 by next summer.
