Just a quick introduction. I am a returning LC'd having fallen off the wagen a couple of years ago and have steadily gone up the scale while denying I was getting heavy. I am back on Atkins and started on January 1. I am also just starting menopause. I have only lost 4 pounds and went back and forth on two of them but I saw my mother this morning and she said I am looking like I have lost weight and that my face looked healthier (whatever that was suppose to mean LOL). I know I have lost an inch on the waist from the way my jeans fit. My goal is 125-130 and I have about 55 pounds to go. I need outside support on this as my husband believes this is probably the stupidest diet he knows, etc. But I know it is effective, I lost 40 pounds the first time around in my 20's. Enough about me and it is time for bed.

Welcome to the forum, C.J. Congrats on those inches lost !!

I'm sure that once your husband noticed how much more energy you have, how healthy you look and how happy you are his attitude will change. I've found that leading by example tends to quite the naysayers - it even brings a few of them around to our way of thinking

Cheers,
Nat

Natasha,

Thank you for your kind words - no, unfortunately it won't work that way with my hubby, he really doesn't want the best - he likes me heavy, he thinks other guys won't look then. So this will be strictly on my own and for my own good. But that is okay. I do have a strong will and it seems to have kicked into gear this year. I see you are from Ottawa. I have a customer in Ottawa, and close friends. I just spent the weekend with them in November. I worked for a company in Ottawa for 3 years, I even had an apartment for a year on Wellington about 3 years ago.

Love the area. And thank you for your response - you have done great on LC.

Welcome to the forum!

Kick back, settle in, and navigate your way around. There’s more information than you ever imagined here…and great people, too!

P.S. It's NOT stupid...show your husband my Before & After pix if you need proof!

Good luck!

Donald
