Hello I am New to the Site

Hi

I have been progressively putting on weight over the past few years. I have been on many diets without success. I am thinking of trying the atkins diet as i have heard you can get great results when following this diet. Does anyone have any views or experience of the atkins diet?

Hi,

I am also new to the site. My sister in law and brother went on the Atkins diet a few years ago. They are both quite heavy and lost a lot of weight. I am sad to say that as soon as they stopped it they gained all the weight and then some back. My sister in law is now following the biggest loser and watching her calorie intake and exercising.

I have kept off 100lbs for 10 years and after having my first child have lost all my baby weight and another 10 lbs. I don't believe in all these diets. What has worked for me is cutting back and exercising. I look at it as a life style change not a diet. Diets don't work. I know I will never put back on the weight I lost. It takes a lot of work but is so worth it.

I hope I helped and good luck.
