Hi my name is Deborah and I am 46 years old. I have recently started the Atkins Diet. I have about 25 lbs to lose.

I have tried using the Metabolic Diet System in the past and had some success, however, the diet is extremely rigid. Low Cal, Low Carb, Low Fat, limited and redundant food choices makes it hard to incorporate for the long run. Must say though, that having been on Metabolic has given "Diet Brain", so having some difficulty wrapping my head around the Atkins For Life....who knew you could eat Butter and still lose weight! :)

Looking for Buddies to share this journey. Believe sharing successes and yes, even setbacks keeps us motivated and focused.
