Default Hi!

Hi, everyone! I'm so happy I stumbled across these boards!

My fiancee and I have been on the Atkins diet since January. I would ultimately like to lose about 100 lbs; he's trying for about 70. So far, I've lost about 30 and he's lost about 45.

Even better than the weight loss for me, though, has been the way that I feel since I've been on the diet. I am severly hypoglycemic, and I can't believe how much more stable my glucose levels are since going on the diet!

We're trying to get close to our goal weights in time for our wedding next May--wish us luck!

Tari, welcome to the forum WTG both of you, fantastic results. This WOL (way-of-life) has so many benefits, the fat loss seems to be just the icing on the cake.

Have a good look around the forum and get aquainted with the Newbies' Questions forum as well as the articles across the top under "Low Carb Tips" - you're sure to read threads and information that will directly relate to your first few weeks' experiences as you embark on a new way of eating (WOE).

Cheers,
Nat

May I also extend a welcome to you Tari and your fiance. You are doing well so far. As Natrushka says look around this site for information and inspiration and if you find you are flagging at any time, come here for support and motivation.

Every success to you both.
