I've tried about every diet under the sun, and lost and maintained well on Atkins for 3 years. I just can't LC anymore. I've tried over and over the last 6 months or so to get started with it again, and have done nothing but manage to binge eat on everything I can get my hands on. I need to take control, and get myself back on track, before I gain all of the weight back that I lost.. I'm going to try Weight Watchers starting Monday, and I'm hoping to find some supportive weightloss buddies here! I'm a SAHM to 4 beautiful kiddos, and I love cooking, gardening, camping, and watching my kids play sports.

Hi I'm new too and just wanted to say hello. I also noticed that you're at a pretty healthy weight for your height and was wondering how much you lost on Atkins. Are you working out at all? If you aren't, that might be the ticket you need to get to your goal as well as dealing with the carb appetite surge that seems to rear its ugly head after Atkins. With four munchkins you must be really busy...I know exercise is the hardest thing for me to squeeze in and really my main challenge in the last 25lbs.
Good luck to you!
