My name is Alissa and I am married to a wonderful man named Bill. We have two beautiful children ages 11 and 8. My weight problem started the first time I got pregnant. Yes, i know, it was like 12 years ago. I gained 82 pounds. Yes, you read right, 82 pounds. (46 the second time) By the time I gained and lost with pregnancy I was 80 pounds heavier. I lost 45 pounds before on Atkins. But gained back 15 pounds. I have turned to Atkins again, and I know if I put my mind to it, I will get the 30 pounds off I want to lose. Well, here goes.
