My name is Emma, Im 30 and from the West Midlands (UK). I am a huge meat lover but my main love is potatoes, so the Atkins plan is easy for me in one way yet so hard in the other. I found this forum a couple of years back and the support, tips and information were a great help. I did loose a lot of weight on the plan but then things happen, i feel off the plan and now ........ ive put a lot of the weight back on. So here I am back again but this time its different. Ive got to a stage in my life where i either have to loose this weight or be happy with myself the way i am and i really dont want it to be the latter. So i started the plan again last monday (this is day 6) and ive lost 4 lbs! Im so happy What is different for me this time is that my husband is doing the plan with me, this is a great help. He has lost 4 lbs too

So im thanking you all in advance for all the help and support that you will give me over the next year or so. Also I'm sorry for all the silly little questions that i will be pestering you with I know that i can do this with your help.

Its great to be back, & back on track.
