I'm 53 years old, live in East Texas, I'm obese...sad but true. I have not had a weight problem until the past 6years...maybe menapause, maybe my life stresses. I am eating Atkins...it is the best for me. I love meat and vegetables. I love fruit too but will not go crazy. God made fruit in its own season..so I don't think we are suppose to eat a bushel in one setting. I'm excited about being on this site but I came kicking and screaming...not sure why. I put my food in and thought what was so hard about that?! I'm starting to have a few health problems and it concerns me. So here I am. Looking forward to getting to know some of you here and hopefully we can help cheer each other on. Good luck to all of us.
