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!

Kate

Good luck and congratulations on the smaller sizes already.

Thanks for the greetings! What is the difference between the quick reply and the regular reply?

Hiya!
Quick reply doesn't need you to go to another web page to reply. It doesn't show you all the toolbars and stuff that the regular reply button does though...

Welcome aboard, and good luck!
