<font face="papyrus" font color="teal" font size="3">Hello all, I am trying to get acquainted here. I signed up a couple days ago and then had to find out how to get back here. After a bit of effort going through my favorites I finally found my way. For some reason the url is not sticking in my mind as of yet.

I began the Atkins program on January 7 and have lost 10 1/2 pounds since then. Since I am on estrogen I do not expect speedy results, but steady and true will win the game. I am down a total of 29.5 pounds from my high weight and that is progress.

Hmmmm, I did sign up for email notification to replies and someone replied to a new post of mine and I never was notified. Guess I had better check out my profile to see what is happening.

Good news for me is that I was able to stop my blood pressure meds yesterday. That is progress.

I and 54 and live in Arizona with my husband of 30 years (in March) and 5 dogs. I have 3 adult children who are thankfully on their own. My goal is to keep improving my health so that I can truly enjoy my Golden years. I know as a kid I believed the ads that talked about them so I want to experience them.

I am looking forward to getting to know others who are in my weight class and who are doing the low carb lifestyle.
