Hi! I'm a 34 year old stay at home mama who needs to lose at least 75 pounds. I am a recovering meth addict (3.5 years sober) and learning to lose weight like non addicts do. :) I attend online college to be an addictions counselor and will have my first certificate April 2012. I'm really looking forward to feeling better and being healthier.

Atkins and South beach
Schweet! kira1ar, yeah, my mom has the atkins book and is bringing it over today. Will definately read up as the offical atkins site is kind of hard to navigate. The real challenge will be when I go to San Diego for a couple days in about 3 weeks. Have no clue what kind of foods to eat at resteraunts so any ideas on that would be great as well. Until now I knew nothing about carbs or what foods had them lol.

Atkins and South beach
Thank you for all your responses. You guys are great. When I saw the pie chart of what I ate and carbs was most of it I figured well maybe that's my problem. So while I do like rice and french fries I like cheese and bacon more. lol. And I can have those on Atkins from what I understand. I've had 2 scrambled eggs with a little shredded cheese for breakfast and I like that better than cereal or a bagel so I guess it won't be so bad. Smile

I'll keep you all posted. Smile

Thanks again and good luck to you all.

Atkins and South beach
Hello everyone! I posted this before but I guess it never showed. It's not in my forum posts. I'm curious what diet is working for every one? I'm thinking I want to try Atkins or South Beach but not exactly sure how they work. I looked Atkins up on web md and it sounds like something that will work great for me since it seems I eat mostly carbs and all my fat is mostly in the belly area. Any info you all have about what works for you and these two diets in particular would really help me out. Thanks!

I'm back again...
Hello! Looking for buddies on here. For some reason I can't get back on with my previous account even with the password reset. I was ladyofthewood98. Have a lot of weight to lose and a hubby that occasionally reminds me of it. Sad
