I am a 44-year old married mom of 5 who struggles with stress-eating and binge-eating. I have 100 lbs. to lose, but am taking each day one at a time. This is the highest weight I've ever been at and it's been pretty eye-opening what can happen when I lose control. I LOVE Atkins -- I feel so much better when I eat this way.

I am planning to do induction longer than 2 weeks to get this excess weight off and get out of the morbidly obese BMI range. After that, I'll celebrate and go onto to Phase 2.
