Hi Everyone! I'm new here on this I site which was recommended to me from a friend at Atkins.com which I started 5 weeks ago this Monday. I need to lose a lot of weight and I rarely diet because I didn't feel I could stick to it because of my terrible sweet tooth and lack of willpower. I have lost 12 lbs so far and a few inches but I have a long ways to go. My daughters upcoming wedding in a year is my motive. I also am new to blogging. I don't tweet, blog, no Facebook, etc... I am a very private person so this is all very new to me but here goes! Your advice is very much welcomed!

Still to go: 84.7 lb.

Hello Nena! :) It sounds like you're starting out really well! 12 pounds is great!! Congratulations! :D I've been a big believer of eating low carb for years, but in the past it was always just a "quick fix diet" type thing to me. Not anymore, though. I am changing my eating habits for good this time. And for me, low carb is something I can do forever. I've been on this site since August and I have learned so much more about the Low Carb Way of Life than I ever knew before. There are lots of people here to support you along the way, give you advice, answer questions and share their experiences with you... and their recipes! :P We're all here for the same reason, so you're never alone. You may add me as a Buddy as well, if you want. Happy you're here :)

Welcome Nena -- I will tell you that Atkins is the way to go. I've been at it for 2-1/2 years and have made it my lifestyle choice -- getting close to my goal too. I started Fatsecret for keeping track a while back and that has been real motivational.
