Thanks to everyone's support here last year, I lost about 16 pounds on Atkins. Then, I stopped coming here when I got to my goal weight, and I put it all back on plus 2 more pounds. But this time I have a much stronger motivation-my health. I just went to the doctor and found out my cholesterol is up and my blood pressure is up. But I think the Atkins diet isn't for me in the long run. So this time, I'm just eating less and eating healthier. When I was on Atkins, it was a total change from what I usually eat. Now I'm staying with what I usually eat for the most part ( except I'm making some healthier choices), just eating lots less and exercising more. I already signed up for the Thanksgiving challenge-18 pounds in 12 weeks, sound doable? I'll keep repeating-"It's all about my health!"
It's good to see you again. Good luck with your lifestyle change! 
I'm sure that losing 18lbs in twelve weeks is quite doable.
