Hi, I just started the Atkins diet on 9/21/04, I can't believe it took me so long to start a diet and have it in my mind that I know I'm going to see it through if it's the last thing I do. I've got a 100 lbs to loose. That will make me right at 200Lbs, wow! that's a lot. I'm 5'10 and I feel like I weigh about 500Lbs. Can't bend over to even tie my shoes without coming up for some air. Oh well it will all leave me and I am glad. The diet will work because i'm going to stick very strict on it. It's do or die for me here. I could still use the support though and I hope that I can be of some help to you guys. Talk to ya later.
