I am 43 years old, married with three children. I am 5' 3" with 35 pounds to lose, but I am shooting for 25 pounds at this point. I've lost weight before on Jenny Craig. I starved the whole time, and it was very expensive. I did try the "old way" of doing Atkins a year ago and only lasted for two weeks. I did lose 9 pounds, but the leg cramps and sick feeling did me in. This time around I am doing the new Atkins program and I am very upbeat because of all of the support that I receive from the Atkins website as well as Fatsecret. So here we go onto a new way of life.
