Welcome, SuziQ. What a difficult time to start Lcing! But I think the diets that work are the ones you start "right now" instead of Monday morning or New Year's Day. Just tell yourself every time you're tempted that even one bite will ruin it. Once you get into ketosis you'll be really motivated!

I had a great day yesterday. I wasn't home much, so I may not have eaten as much as usual---although I ate almost a whole can of cashews while I was out! LOL! But I drank 100 oz. of water and lost 3.5 lbs! That's a first for me!

I've got work to do this a.m. since I didn't do any yesterday....better run!
