I am a single mother of 2. My daughter is 13 and my son is 7 and I have no excuse anymore to blame it on the baby weight! All my pants are tight and barely button and my goal is to wear my "skinney jeans" comfortably again. High cholestrol and high blood pressure run stong in my family and since my 2 kids are my world and need me here on this earth as long as I can be...Ive decided to give Atkins a shot 100%. Once I feel great about myself, I can allow the dating scene to happen again and allow someone special into my life again. I am excited to be doing this diet and I hope to find some buddys along the way. Good luck to all!
