Hi everyone
My name is Terri, I am 54 years old, I have 2 lovely grandchildren who I look after on a regular basis
I have been overweight all my life, I even had to eat my food separately from the rest of the family when I was about 2 years old so I wouldn't be tempted to eat the " wrong " things !
Needless to say, ever since then, my weight has been on a trampoline, nothing ever seemed to work long term
I lived in Portugal with my partner for nearly 4 years before returning home to the UK because he had health problems and I was at my heaviest when I came back, 19st 2lbs ( 268 lbs )
I started on Weight Watchers in Nov 09 and got down to 210 lbs, then gave up and 17lbs crept back on again
I found the Atkins site whilst surfing and decided to try the new approach ( did the old one a few years ago and could not get on with it )and I am finding it just what I need, the weight is falling off and I feel fantastic, no more bloating and my slight IBS is a whole lot better
This is going to be a way of life for me now
Good Luck to all of us on our journeys !
Terri xx
