I've battled my weight all of my life and I'd like this to be the last time. The only way I will be successful is to continually hold myself accountable for every food choice I make. This is my first time trying Atkins; I've been on WW several times, did a protein shake & meal replacement-based HMR program, and generally lose about 60 pounds before I slip back into my old habits. Of course this is counterintuitive, because each time, at around 200 pounds, I still have 50 pounds at least to get to a normal weight, so you'd think I'd be able to keep going.....This time I'm hoping it will be different. I started Atkins induction phase on 7/6/10, and so far have lost 15 pounds, nearing my 2 week mark. So far I feel like I'm more in control of my diet, and my life (funny how those two intertwine...) and I'm hoping to start an exercise program soon, although I have a foot issue that I hope will not hinder too much. Except for visual triggers from carbs, I haven't missed the bad ones that sort of ruled my life. On to my 100 pound weight loss target!!!!

Anyone read(ing) and/or following the Complete Beck Diet for Life?
A couple of years ago I was on a diet called HMR, and the nutritionist (size 0, of course) was into her books. I bought the book, probably read the first chapter, then got sidetracked. Maybe I'll look at it again someday...

MBA program
Ok, this has been years ago, so I don't know how much of this is still relevant. I came out of high school in the early 80's and ended up at the wrong school for the wrong thing. I ended up changing my major several times, then finally just declared a major to get my degree and move on. So, I have a BA in Spanish from UC Riverside. Five years after that, I had an opportunity to go back to school. I very quickly threw together a GMAT (seriously, I bought a Wiley book and don't recall studying much) and between my not-so-high GPA from UCR and my GMAT score, I was conditionally accepted to the MBA program at Cal State San Bernardino, declaring Financial Accounting as my MBA concentration. Conditional acceptance meant that we all recognized that I had several undergraduate courses to take to be eventually fully accepted into the program. I spent the next 3 years going mostly full time (4 classes a quarter, 16 units) taking all the necessary undergraduate and graduate classes and received my degree in 94. I'll have to say, returning to college at 28---I was a lot more disciplined and was in a field I was interested in, so I graduated with a much higher GPA, and passed the CPA exam the year before I graduated.

I guess my point is that I think the Cal State schools have good programs, check them out and see how their programs work. Good luck to you!
