I'm 40 yrs old and just had my 4th child. Before I got pregnant I had lost 25lbs on the Atkins diet. I was so committed and it was the best diet I had ever tried. I loved it. I quit when I got pregnant and now I have lost the desire to do much of anything, but I really need to lose 50 lbs. I can't afford the Atkins diet now, no-one in my family will commit to eating that way. So, I'm just gonna have to try something else.
