I have done Atkins before and gained back. I am now in my 30's and sick of being heavier then where I want to be. I have a son who will be starting 1st grade this year and I don't want to be that fat Mom. I am getting married to a wonderful man who doesn't think that I need to lose any weight and is completely oblivious that I had put 20 pounds back on since him and I got together. This and my elliptical downstairs make it so much easier to stick with it this time. I don't ever want to be a size 6, but a healthy size 10 or 12 would look great on me! So, the goal is now to make the wedding dress that much more fabulous. Cheers! till November 3..
