Hi, again, sugarlvr! Glad to hear your good news! I'm glad Atkins is keeping you from being hungry; my son-----the carb addict----is delighted and astounded at how good he feels and at the fact that he isn't hungry at all. It's being a big boost to his self-confidence----much needed at this point. I, too, have always found that exercise really made a difference.

Kathy, I know what you mean about the fruit! We have had a wonderful surprise in a big crop of wild black raspberries out in the wild part of our back yard. I can pick a pint in 15 minutes; how can I resist? Of course, the Zone lets me fit them in pretty well. You're so close to goal: you'll make it soon, I know!

Hey, mschube! How're you doing? Hope you're well under way with what you're aspiring to!

Best to all on this thread!
