Hello girls and gals! My name is Renee and I'm back focused on my weight. I ended my last journey at 169.2 in August 2010 and gained 29 pounds unexpectedly and got up to 198lbs :-( by Christmas 2010. So I made a vow on Dec. 26th to lose this weight for good!

Fast forward to now and I'm 184.2lbs 3 and half months in which is around 4.6 pounds a month. I started the Atkins Diet on April 7th with a starting weight of 188lbs so I'm down 3.8lbs in 2 days. I'm very excited about this new journey and I wish all of you the best of luck! I Hope to gain allot of encouragement and knowledge from this site.

Im on the atkins as well. Im one day in. I weigh 165.5 shooting for 140. best of luck to you.

Good luck and I owe a lot to Atkins although I no longer follow Atkins anymore and not because it doesn't work because it does. There's a forum here for people who follow the Atkins WOE. You should check it out especially if it's your first time. The recipes are amazing
