Hey there! I am a long time Atkinseer. I did it first in the 90's during Dr Atkins infomercial era. I saw him and thought, yeah that can't work, I'll show him! And lost 40 lbs...
I was hooked.
Kept that off until babies, Did not know I could do Atkins while Pregnant and then lost 96lbs after two babies.
Kept that off but have been struggling with perimenopause for the last 5 years. Last year was a tough year and I almost lost both my parents to medical issues and my Aunt passed away in December. That year brought lots of carb creep and heaviness to my heart and life.
So January I did a reset. I have lost 25 lbs so far in 8 weeks. I am feeling so much better and focused.
I don't know what my end game is yet. What number I am looking for but I feel like it doesn't matter because I am just back for life. Im 50 and I am just tired of what doesn't work!!
I was a regular on the Atkins boards but since they are gone I have been looking for a community to share this common bond in.
Can't wait to meet Y'all!
