I am 41 and my husband is 47 I have 25 lbs to loose and he has 60...this is the 1st day of the Atkins diet...we are both excited and full of anticipation to the new us. We have been married for 4 years and in that 4 years I have gained about 40 lbs...I am menapausal and have a thyriod condition being treated by a doctor. He has high blood pressure and high cholestral & tryglicerides...We MUST loose this weight and I am confidant that this plan will work if we stick to it... Thanks for your support! :wave:

Good to see that you will have a partner on this WOE with your husband. Definately easier to cook meals. My husbands cholesterol was too high before this way of eating, his numbers are now in the normal range and he has lost 50 pounds. True it has been one year - but we are feeling so much better!
