Hello,

My name is Char or at least that is what everyone calls me.
I am fro the USA and live on the east coast.
I have 2 sons one is 24 the other is 16.
I married to a really wonderful man who is so supportive of me doing this and anything else I do.
I have been on a LC diet now for 3 weeks with no weight loss.
I am really discouraged however I keep thinking it will happen soon.
I am doing an excercise program 3-4 times a week.
I really need help with this type of diet...
looking forward to hearing all the ideas eveyone has thank you for allowing me to be a part of this.

Do you use the fitday website? It is a great tool in helping you plan your menus, check your carbs. You can also post your menus here so some of the eagle-eyed old timer lcer's can see what might be standing in your way.

Measure yourself! You might be trading fat for muscle so you will weigh the same but you'll be getting smaller (make sense?).

Have you read up on this way of eating? Lots of good information out there.

Welcome and good luck!

Hi,

I just started Atkins after watching my husband go from 250lbs to 200. I finally realized that I'm a carb addict. I started 1 week ago and have lost 5lbs in 1 week! The weird thing is almost all my cravings for sweets have disappeared.

I live in the United States on the east coast with my husband, 3 yr-old son and 2 dogs. I did have a horse that I outgrew and my husband has agreed that my reward for meeting my goal will be to get another horse so I'm very anxious to reach my goal of losing 30lbs... only 25 more to go!

This website is great... so much great information!
