Hi iceskater. You mentioned the other day going on Atkins??? My secretary started it today and was downloading tons of yummy sounding recipes. I am a huge meat and cheese fan...not sweets but wow...would I miss the potatoes and pasta....

hugs to bubba and lucy!

Yes, I started last week. I lost seven pounds as of Thursday. I haven't checked since then. I thought I would miss the potatoes and bread a lot. But I really haven't. It has surprised me. Chocolate, however, is a whole 'nuther story (could be hormonal). I had a bad weekend due to a variety of situations but I'm back on track today.

Injury, stress, etc. has done me in this summer. I really had to do something. I know quite a few people who've been really successful with Atkins so I thought I would try it. So far, so good. The immediate positive results is extremely helpful in keeping my motivation going.
