Welcome, welcome, we're all good weight-loss buddies here!
I had several friends all try Atkins at the same time, after watching me lose weight very quickly by limiting carbs (and calories!) 3+ yrs ago. Three of them are still using Atkins principles, and expect to do so for the rest of their lives. They are all skinny, fit, mentally sharp, and very full of life, compared to how they were before, and I think that was the key for each of them. The others who quit after an initial weight loss are back to their old selves, so maybe the skinnyness was not enough of a payoff to inspire lifestyle change, for them.
Atkins diet is fine - if it's for life. Some people are more sensitive to carbs, and function much better in their day-to-day life, when they regulate their eating accordingly. Your best bet is ANY diet which so fits you and/or rewards you, that it quits being just a diet, and becomes your natural habit. Good luck with your journey to healthier eating (and activity) habits!
