I have been doing Akins for about 2 1/2 years off and on and this time its been off more than on. I need some kind of encrouragment. I weight now 270 pds and was as 230. I don't know how I let myself get by here again, but here I am. I am trying to find out what is going to push me now to get up and get started. I found this website and it has helped a lot to know I am not the only one struggling and trying to find anything that works and since of hope from somewhere. Is there anyone out there that can help me.

Losing weight has been the hardest thing for me. I have consistently gained weight for the last three years, and finally reached 227. That was it for me, so I started Atkins about 5 weeks ago. It has worked so well, and I have lost 22 pounds. I am now at 205 and I still have about 55 pounds to go.

You can reach your goal. I know how hard it is to stick to such a rigid diet, but the payoffs are big. Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. Just make little adjustments first, and then you'll start feeling better.

Good luck, and you CAN do it...
