Welcome from another newbie

Don't know if I count, as I'm bi-racial (father black, mother caucasian), but I've been successful so far. I didn't start my journey obese per se, but I do hold weight in areas most common for women of colour (I sit on most of my weight! )

Betcha' ten bucks if you're true to the Atkins WOE and stick with it for a reaonable amount of time, you'll dispel your own theory.
