Hey; I'm a "newbie" I guess, at least to this website.
I've been "doing" Atkins since the beginning of May and have lost 15 lbs. Still have about 35 to go...
I am a lifetime WeightWatchers member and have tried numerous diets in the past, but so far, low-carb is the way to go! I'm in my mid-40's and have had 2 kids, and that really blows your metabolism! I know that there's no "quick-fix" weight loss magic, but so far I'm pleased with my results and am staying focused not JUST on the weight loss, but on how much BETTER I am feeling...
I live in Massachusetts, not far from Boston. My interests include Yoga, dogs, cats, reading and crafts.
So, anyway, that's me!

Hi Michelle,


I just started the Atkins diet today. I'm feeling good so far and am proud that I haven't even had the urge to cheat. It is only my first day though .


I'm 21 and have no kids (thank goodness). I live with my boyfriend in the Bay Area of California and I have three BEAUTIFUL cats that are my kids.


Congratulations on your weight loss so far. Stick with it, and it's a pleasure to meet you.
