Hi'
I too, am very happy to have found an over 50's forum for people who are doing the Atkins diet. I started right after christmas and have lost about 13 pounds so far. I started on the SouthBeach, but I switched to Atkins, it seemed like a more satisfying diet. I am 60 and I was a little leary of starting the diet because of the fat we are supposed to eat, but after reading Dr. Atkins book, I thought I would try it and see what my lipids are the next Dr. checkup I have this spring. I really enjoy having a way to get support from others in the same boat as me. Thanks for all of the input! It is very interesting and comforting to hear about the way other people cope.
