I am the mother of 10yr old twin boys and a 3yr girl. I started atkins quite a few years back and lost 30lbs. Over the years i have gain it back. This time i am hoping to learn a new way to eat for life and keep the weight off. The biggest problem i face is working in a restaurant that does not allow outside food to be brought in. So i stick to salads and grilled chicken when i am there. I started atkins again Oct 6 and have lost 10lbs so far. I feel great and hope i can stick with it.
