I am 69 years young...I was active and full of energy when I was young and physically fit, until I reached my late 30's then I got a desk job and started gaining weight, long story, but in brief I was so busy (I thought) to have some sort of physical activity. I used to eat whatever I wanted without gaining weight...my habits continued BUT I started gaining more, and more weight. I have been on and off so many diets, so many times, I had actually given up. My health has really declined, I now have type 2 diabetes, along with high blood pressure....SO I decided I would go on the diet I really do believe in: LOW CARB. I joined the Atkins website, but a friend told me about fatsecret, so here I am.

I would love to have support and give support to others who have decided that it is time to lose the excess weight and be healthy!!! I LOVE food, but I want to love the food that loves me back, give me the nutrients but not the carbs!
