First, I am not sure this goes here..but I trust that the all-knowing moderators will take of it!

Second, I want those of you who are hesitating to start to take a look. I have been on the Atkin's Plan since Thanksgiving Day 2002. At that time, I weighed 298.9. Today, I am down to 276.9 and still losing. But that's not the half of it. Take a look at some blood work my doctor has been monitoring. (The first column will be my starting numbers)

Cholesterol 156 114
Glucose 134 122

The cholesterol does not concern me as I was well within "normal limits" to begin with, but the fact remains that it has come down without any problems!

But most importantly to me, my glucose shows I am slowly but surely moving out of that dangerous diabetic range!

Thanks to everyone who helps out, who provides recipes, support, and just plain entertainment on this on this board! Prior to finding this support forum I was VERY hesitant to starting this program. I know I do not contribute much, but I hope that this post will help somone to make up their mind and finally realize that this is a healthy way to go!
