Atkins has been working really well for me - the first weight loss plan that has. Some of the bits of info others like you give are incredibly helpful. One is the "whoosh" of weight loss every two to three weeks - that's now happening to me and a great relief to know it's normal.

Another is water. I knew of the 64 ounces daily but wasn't aware of the additional 8 ounces for each 25 pounds I need to lose. I've been lax with the water lately and looked for this posting of yours to find out just how much I am supposed to be drinking. (Got to take care of those kidneys, don't you know!) Confirmation of what I suspected for potassium (99mg three times a day) was also in your post. Great info for me to toe the line.

This is such a great support thread! When I get down to half of what I weighed originally, you all will have had a "hugh" part of it! ;o)

Glad you took time to read post #482. It has a lot of good information.
