Talking I am the Atkins Poster Child...

...At least according to my doctor

I just got back from my three-month check up and in addition to losing nearly 50 pounds since June 23, 2003...

My blood pressure has dropped from 154/90 to 130/88!

Needless to say, I was ecstatic about that! My doctor was very supportive of this WOE and asked if she could use me as an example (no names, of course) for her other patients who came in claiming that they couldn't do anything to lose weight and just wanting a pill to make it all better. She was also thrilled to hear about the positive eating habits I've changed or created.

So, there are supportive doctors out there
