  • Hello..
    I have been searching for an online place like this for a year. I desparately need to loose 61 pounds for health reasons.

    I tried to Atkins diet for the entire month of January. Must have done something wrong it didn't work. I gained weight.

    I need as much support as I can get. I am 5' even and weigh 172 pounds. I would love to hear from someone soon. Thank you.

    There is an Atkins message Board here - check out Low Carb Diets. Or, if you want to change plans, snoop around and just join right in.
  • Victory,

    Nice to meet you!

    I'm in the same boat as you are. I am 166 lbs, and only 5ft 4in tall. I am also Type II diabetic. I have poor vision and my doctor has said that I have to lose around 50 pounds so as to control my diabetes and protect my vision and other organs.

    Do you exercise? I walk around the block and go to the gym every other day for about an hour on the treadmill. It's not much but it's a good start. If you want to talk, feel free to pm me.

    -Dhvaya.

  • Thank you for the welcome.

    I tried Atkins during January. I think I ate too much of the allowed food.
    I gained about 12 pounds. I really noticed it when I was trying on some clothes in a dressing room at Lord and Taylor's. It was so depressing to see how much body looks.

    So I have decided to do monitor my caloric intake.

    I do execise. But I have to be more consistent.

    I am so grateful for the responses.
