I tried to lose, for many years, and always wound up gaining it all back plus some more. If I gave up in disgust and stopped trying to lose I STILL gained more. I've been on the Atkins plan, and pretty consistent about it, since a week before thanksgiving. I don't claim it suits everyone, but this is the first time I have EVER gone to a smaller size rather than a larger one! *shrug*

I sound like an ad, and that's awful, I apologize. I really am psyched about it, though.
