Start Weight:	(17 Jan 11) 186.0 lb
Current Weight:	(18 May 13) 159.0 lb
Goal Weight:	132.0 lb

following: Atkins
performance: losing 2.0 lb a week

I am a married 59 year old Grandmother of 11 with a full time job as the Office Manager of a construction company. I also play "Mommy" to a spoiled rotten Shih Tzu and 2 independently minded felines. Yes - I am busy!

I have a long history of battling my weight. My story is simple. I was fat...now I'm less fat...I want to be not fat.

My diet plan is a very eclectic: I am borrowing heavily from Atkins (and other low carb diet plans) watching the glycemic index and calories content of my food. My goal is to develop a healthy and sustainable way of eating.

I've come a long way with the help of my Fat Secret Buddies. Now it is time to finish my journey.

Adding Protein to Oatmeal
I love walnuts in my oatmeal - kind of like a warm crunchy oatmeal cookie. Now I know what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow!

Easy healthy soup: butternut squash
Thanks for sharing - guess I'd better snag up some squash before the season is over!

A question for Atkins and former Atkins dieters
I got to a point where I had to start limiting calories to jump start my weight loss. Please don't look at my weight graph of late, but when I do follow my plan of low carb and low calorie I will lose weight.

Halloween
I love this topic because it shows how different we all are. Some, like Jamie (Wyatt), can take a nibble and be satisfied. Others, like me, need to stay as far away as possible. One bite and I need to eat the whole bag.
