My weight loss journey begins

I need to lose some weight. A lot of weight. Since I am 65 years old, I know it will be harder than when I was younger. My high weight was 235 pounds just last week. So I went out and bought Atkins Diet books and special foods and have started on my new weight loss journey. I started this diet on Sat. Aug.21st. Today is my 3rd day and I am doing ok. I am eating eggs, meat, salads with low carb dressing and drinking plenty of water. I am starting with a weight of 233 pounds. Right now I am suffering with a heel spur so walking for exercise is out. I do ride my exercise bike every other day for now. What I don't like is going to the bathroom 2 or 3 times a night. I know this will get better later on in a week or two. I am going to set a goal to reach 175 pounds. If and when I reach that goal, I will consider lowering it. So here I go on my new weight loss journey!
