Hi there, i'm a 30 year old married woman from country Queensland in Australia. I have decided to give Atkins a go for the 2nd time tomorrow. I have tried it before and although i didn't last - it's probably the diet that i have lasted the longest on ever!

I have a husband who doesn't have to watch his weight and a 1 year old that consumes my time. I also work part time as an Administration officer. So life is pretty busy. I just can't seem to get my weight back down to where i was before having my son.

I currently weigh 84kgs, which is 185pounds. I am short also so i need to lose 20pounds to be my healthy weight. But i'd be happy to be 75kgs again (165 pounds) as i was happy at that weight and can't remember being less than that anyway!

I live in a rural area - there are no support groups, no weight watchers or anything like that and i really struggle doing this on my own. Hubby is no help - he is away usually half the week for work. I'd love to find a buddy and get involved with this forum and hopefully stay motivated this time.

So hi to everybody and hope to chat to you soon.
