Thanks for the input Missy. I plan on using everyone on this board as a lo-carb buddy! I just recently registered but had been logging on everyday just to hear what people had to say (mainly for encouragement and to snag any helpful ideas I could find). This forum is wonderful and everyone so far has been so helpful. I can't believe that there are people out there who don't even know me but want me to suceed! What a great find!
