Hello... I'm a 41-yr.-old teacher from S. Florida--I teach middle school, and direct a summer camp for kids from other countries. I've been married for 19+ years, and have 3 kids (12, 15 and 16). I've lived in the midwest, Panama (Central America), and now Florida. I started Atkins on 7/20 of this year. I lost 22 lbs in the first 2 weeks. I was amazed at how easy it was. I haven't lost any lbs. since, but I'll save that problem for a different post. I have a question: Some people have pictures posted--That's great, because I can see a "real person" rather than just words. How do you do that? Anyway, I'm delighted I stumbled onto this site. It seems huge and a bit intimidating, but I'm sure I'll get used to it... Thank you all...

Hi Kelley, welcome!

You'll find the picture info here.

Have a good look around the forum - I'd especially recommend the "Hot Links" sticky in the newbies forum.

Kelley, how about starting up a journal here? If you post your daily food intake, we'll be better able to judge why your weight loss stopped.

Cheers!

Thank you! Let's see if it works...

Hola Kellyb, you have a very busy life! You've done really well on your weight loss and I'm sure you stall will be over soon.

Welcome to the board. I love this site. Last month I stumbled upon by accident and now try to check in at least once a day. Lots of fabulous people and info. Good luck. nancy
