I'm soooo LOVING Atkins!!!

Ok, I had to share. I just went to my doctor and weighed myself. I was at 430 lbs...now down to 418.9!!  11.1 lbs in a week!!! Ok, I know it's my first week, and you always lose the most your first couple weeks on a diet, but i don't care! WHOO HOO!!!        I'm so happy. This is the longest I've ever made it on Atkins without cheating, and now that it's been a week its ALOT easier. I can't wait to be under 400 lbs. I think thats my first mini goal. 399 lbs.

Congrats! I have done that diet 1 too many times!!! I can never stick to it. Although I did stick to it at one point in my life for 9 months and lost 100 pounds! So your should be under 400 in no time at all!!!

How's WW coming?  Have you found a good meeting yet?

No, and I just can't afford it right now. I'm barely sqeaking by as it is. I'm a single mom and I'm going back to college, so money is non-existant in my house. Otherwise I would be there in a heartbeat. But Atkins seems to be working for me, and with everyone here as a support group I think I can manage. 

Heather, Atkins is doing more for you than working, it's changing you into a weight loss machine!
