I started on the Atkins program a few weeks ago and am amazed for the first time in years I am actually losing weight. It has been a huge mental struggle trying to undo the low-fat, high-carb programs that I have been brainwashed into believing was the 'only' way to lose weight. I have lost over 20 lbs in a few weeks and have a long way to go, but I think I have finally found the right program for me. I know from the messages that I have already read on this site that it will be a huge inspiration for me along the way.

Hi Maree

greetings from a fellow aussie, I just popped in to say welcome, and congrats on the weight already gone.

Good Luck Low Carbing
Keep up the good work.

Your'e absolutely right about the low fat diet info that has been fed into everyone for years, I mean if it worked then why are more and more people getting fat !!

bye for now

I still have a hard time believing that this WOL will work...LOL but it does. I have never been able to stay on a diet for more than 6 months [ except when I was on diet pills which screwed me up bad] The difference this time is I dont feel deprived and I made the decision a long time ago I would eat like this for the rest of my life. Good luck!!
