Hi my name is Christina and I have just started on the Atkins diet, and hope that it will help kick start me. I am 5'1" AND 3/4 and weigh 209. I refuse to gain anymore weight or I am going to wider than I am tall, just kiddding. Anyway lost 13 lbs last year with my on again off again exercise routine. So I am hoping with this and exercising on my treadmill and gazelle and universal gym ( I have no excuse not to exercise)that this wll be the thing that works for me. I was one of those people that could eat and eat and never gain weight, even when I was 4 months pregnant with my twins I still only I weighed 110 lbs. That is the other thing I think I need to forget what I was and focus on what I can be. I also had to go on an anti depressant in this last year, and I am hoping with my wieght loss I can get rid if this also. Looking forward to your support

Hello,

Welcome and glad to have you join in the fun. I had to get past the what I was and look to the future too--if you want to you can check out my ramblings and musings in my jounal in the journaling forum...you might find them helpful too! Check out all the areas of the site and stop in when you need a pick-me-up! It has been a lifesaver for me at times and a great place to share excitement over compliments and losses even if they were only one pound at a time!

Welcome, Christina 46 and FIT AND TRIM.

I hope you'll both make yourselves at home!

p.s. FIT, you might want to turn off your caps lock. Typing in all capital letters on a bulletin board is like shouting.

thank you every one that has replied, it sounds like I will have the support I need. I am really hoping this is the thing that works and that I can get back the happy go lucky person I use to be.Instead off the tired grouchy depressed person that stares back at me in the mirror.
