Hello All,
I am new here and have a bit of weight to lose. I have done low fat in the past and have been successful, only to get pregnant and regain all of what I lost. I recently joined the low carb kick and although I did lose weight, I found that I gained it all back and then some (in pounds per day) if and when I ever cheated. I have decided to return to low fat/low calorie because I feel that it is the healthier way to go and I am way more successful at it.

It's nice to meet all of you.

I just gave up on Atkins, too, and back to intuitive eating. I take prednisone and that makes you pretty hungry but there is a gal here who lost 90lb on Atkins while taking prednisone. So it is possible.

You've come to a great place for advice support & encouragement!

Sorry to hear low carb didn't work for you but....good luck to you with whatever works for you!

You CAN do this!!

All the best to you!!

Yep, me too. Looks like we're in the same boat, goal-wise and eating-wise...

Welcome! If you're looking for motivation and a group of folks to share in setting and accomplishing mini-goals, I suggest "Chicks Up for a Challenge" in the Support Groups forum. Lots of good stuff going on over there... but then again, there's a lot of good stuff going on everywhere here.
