Default Hi from Northern Virginia

I'm glad to be here! I've been following Atkins "My Way" since January 1 and have lost about 15 lb of the 40 that I need to lose. I love the motivation that this forum provides and the tips for staying on program.

I have three grown boys - my oldest (29) is living in Sudan working for a Government Contractor, my middle boy lives in Denver with his wife of 9 months, and my youngest is a freshman at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. My husband and I are both bankers, with sedentary lifestyles that lend to our weight problems.

We love to walk and go to the gym but unfortunately also love to eat, which is why we have a struggle with our weight. Both of us also enjoy low-carbing and find it easy to stick with. It's becoming increasing obvious that a low carb lifestyle is essential to good health. Books read recently: Goldstein, Jonny Bowden, Kat James. On my ipod: Jimmy Moore Livin La Vida Low Carb and Motivation to Move.

I really look forward to exploring this forum!

Marie. I like your positive attitude. Congratulations on your weight loss, it is a good start. It is nice that your husband is joining you in your l/c lifestyle. That certainly makes it a lot easier.
