Thanks!


I tried the low fat, light, type of diet where I went to the gym 3 to 5 times a week, but I have multiple injuries. I have 6 buldging disks and every disk in my neck is degenerated. I had broke my foot and now have a screw in there. Also had knee surgery and shoulder surgery. I'm falling apart I tell ya lol. My point is, exercise is very hard for me. I can walk a few miles a day when I get time and if the weather cooperates. I just mowed the grass and that is a chore in itself. But the Atkins is really going to help me because if I can get just 10 or 20 pounds off and gradually take some weight off then I will and can be more active. Walking 2 miles about kills me. People who haven't had a back or neck injury and someone that doesn't have a weight problem wouldn't know what this is like. Just walking through the grocery store hurts me by the time it is over. I've kept the weight off that I lost from going to the gym during the winter but once I level out like this then the pressure starts again on my disks. I'm not just doing it for looks, I'm mainly doing it for pain control.
