Thanks for the replies. My doctor insists that I lose another 10-15 lbs. I am going to try but I am not going out of my way. My focus (like mcastle) is now to excercise and get fit, and continue with this WOE. I am supposed to go on a 30km (18miles) bike tour with a friend in two weeks and need to start training for that. I live on the fourth floor of a building with no lift and I used to have to pause at the second floor, and I still ended up totally breathless by the time I made it up! So Atkins has certainly changed my life!

cheers to all
