3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Hi all, I'm new to the site, I have read a few reviews about diets but never participated in a discussion.
I'm a full-time RN and mother of 4 who has struggled w/ weight problems over the last 22yrs.
In 2003 I tried the Atkins diet w/ good success. starting weight 233lbs.
I lost 50lbs in 8months. I have slowly gained back to this point 17lbs, which I guess isn't all that bad but I never finished losing the weight I wanted to. I really got tired of the diet. I was pleased w/ the results though. However, after going off you never get the same results when attempting to try it again. I have been looking for a diet or should I say new lifestyle of eating. Anyway, I did alittle research on the new Sonoma diet and read the reviews from the chicks. I started it on the 2/16/06(200lbs) and this am I weighed myself I have lost 9lbs(191)! I'm so excited. I guess I'm looking for some moral support and would be happy to help others in their weight loss quest.
Thanks for listening,
Carrie
