I'd like to introduce myself. I've been lurking on this forum for a while and finally decided that I should register so I could join this very supportive and friendly forum. I'm a 52 year old American woman who has lived in Mexico for several years. Over the past 5 years or so I can't seem to stop piling on the pounds, I've had problems all my life maintaining my weight, but what used to work to keep it at a reasonable level is no longer effective.

I'd heard about the Atkins plan for years and finally decided to try it. Tomorrow will be two weeks on Induction and I haven't weighed yet, but am already in some clothes that used to be too tight. I've lost almost 2 inched off my waist!!!
Yipee!

So far so good, I'm using Fitday..it really helps. I must confess that I don't have the book yet as it is unavailable in this town but someone who is visiting me next month is bringing a copy.

Glad to be here!
