Retired Housewife with 3 grown daughters and 4 grandchildren. I origially had gained 20 pounds over the last few years. I have been trying to loose on my own over the last year, verrrry difficult. Have tried various methods with no or little success but eventually it took a year to loose 10 pounds.

Not too happy at that amount and length of time. I started to investigate Atkins way of life and am very excited and thrilled to see the weight come off so soon. I started Atkins from the book approx. 6 days before I became a member and lost 3 pounds a few days of which no changes were noted.


I can't tell you what a relief it is to know that I was probably sabotaging myself with the low fat products now on the market and other items high in carbs.

I have learned so much in the last week and am so happy. Soon I will be able to get back into my clothes which have been sitting in the closet for so long. I also feel great.
