[HPFGU-OTChatter] Atkins, Signs

[zulyblue]

I second everything Joy has written about Atkins and
the wonders of Weight Watchers!
  IMHO, if you are really serious about losing weight
(and if you have more than just a few pounds to lose)
a plan like Weight Watchers is the way to go because
it is more than just a diet.  If you are serious about
losing weight and keeping it off you need to change
the way you eat and Weight Watchers encourages eating
healthy, while Atkins doesn't.  I've been doing WW
since the first of the year and I have lost 80 lbs so
far and I feel great.  The first few weeks were hard,
but after that I really have to say it has been EASY! 
 

WW has worked for me and Joy and several friends that
I have convinced to join. Its not a miracle, but it
works! Best of luck with whatever 'diet' you choose
and let us know how it goes.

PS Anyone else out there on WW?
