I’m a 45 year old female with an awesome husband and son. I gave up a great career 4 years ago in software training to home school my son. A choice I have never regretted but has had challenges financially. It has brought us extremely close as a family.

My son now 14 yrs old is more independent and I find myself bored and eating. I tried Atkins before with much success but for me the problem is usually maintenance. The first time I tried Atkins I got into what was a trap for me; staying in Induction for 5 months because the fat melted off. The food got boring; variety in foods got difficult. There is so much more variety out there for low carbers I think this time is going to be different. This time I promise to follow through completely. Who knows, at my age I may find a great new job to fill my time.
