I'm glad it didn't come off wrong...sometimes posted items can take on a different tone than was intended. I had a lot of success with WW...lost 50 pounds but I was hungry all time and finally went back to eating and gained it all back and more. Nobody's fault but my own and that was at least 10 years ago so I don't know what their plan is like now. I love Atkins because I can eat allowed foods until I'm not hungry. Which means that a lot of days I take in more than 2000 calories and still lose! It still amazes me because I was one of those low calorie dieters before. As I said though, everyone has to do what works for THEM. As successful as I've been and as much as low-carbing agrees with me I know there are people that it isn't right for. I hope you find YOUR lifestyle, works great for me, perfect diet soon. Best wishes!
