What a great forum, I'm so glad I found it. The regular Atkins was helpful and interesting but it was sometimes hard to relate to people with post weight lose plans for tummy tucks and string bikinis, more power to them but feeling good and being healthy is my goal.

Smile Getting Started

[FONT=Georgia][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]
I have come back to low-carbing after almost 18 months away. I had done Atkins and lost 28 pounds, and felt absolutely fabulous, and then a series of domestic crises -- parents dying, partner of 13 years leaving me for his high-school sweetheart, etc...-- put me back in the cookie jar for a rapid weight-gain.... So, I started again on December 8, and have gone from 167 to 164.5 over the last four days...very nice.... I am 51, taking HRT (which I know I have to come off soon, given all the new health info. about it), and determined to be at 140 by April, and then back to my Atkins 130 by next autumn-- it took about 11 months last time, so I figure it will be much the same this time (I hope). I have a closet full of clothes I can't wear, and I am fat and single again after 14 years. I think joining a thread of people around my age, and keeping track along with them would really help me a lot. So...can I join your group?

Default Over 50 Forum

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.

This is a great place to visit and learn. It does seem like some of the younger members haven't been around long enough to have their prioritys straight. Bodies don't function on any set sechedule.
