Hello there everyone I am a second timer to the Atkin's Diet I lost 25 lbs 17 yrs ago in 20 days and have kept it off all these years.I have fluctuated within 5 lbs either side of the scale(168-173) I am now at 164 from 173.This time around is a bit harder since my carb levels have been on the lower end already for a long time.I think If I can get a handle on the diet I can do this..with exercise this time though.I am single live in Brantford Ontario Canada.I have three children all grown and three beautiful Grandbabies..I want to be around for a really long time...HEALTHY!!!..oh and HAPPY!!! Good luck to all of you never be afraid to ask for help or an ear to listen.
