I'm an Army wife and mother to 3 adorable kids of my own plus an awesome adult step-daughter. I'm returning to Atkins after 8 yrs absence in which time I had 2 of my kids and gained 88 pounds, ugh. I had been really interested in the whole foods way of life and feel that it works well with Atkins. I am a stay-at-home mom now and love to cook so think it will be a lot easier for me to stick with the plan since I rarely eat out. I look forward to meeting like-minded people to share encouragement and tips for this journey:)
