My name is Suzanne. I live in NW Illinois.

I am at my highest weight ever when I started Atkins on Aug, 1, 2013 (just 20 short days ago). I'm down to 214# so far, as I'm joining this site (8/20/13)

I am a recent widow (lost my husband in Jan. of this year to cancer), and have one grown daughter (age 20).

I recently decided that my biggest cheerleader has gone to Heaven (my beloved husband of 15 years) so it's time that *I* have to "take a big girl pill" and watch out for my own health.
