Yay Tarah! You go girl! Tomorrow is the first day of what will be the best time of your life! I hope you're prepared for feeling great, not being hungry, having no more cravings, and for getting thinner at the same time. Be prepared for a few sickly days at first though, as your body rids itself of all of those carbohydrates and carb stores. Not everyone goes through it, but I've had a friend of mine who told me she couldn't do Atkins because it made her sick. It didn't make her sick, it was the carbohydrates saying goodbye! So therefore I like to warn people so they'll understand that it's normal. BUT after that's all over with, it's smooooth sailing.

Good idea about not using the scale! I've been advocating that for a while. I use my jeans too. And actually today, I put on my favorite pair of jeans and they were practically falling off. Another week or so and I'm going to have to wear a belt with them. I've only lost 12 lbs according to the scale, but I FEEL so much skinnier and fantastic besides. It seems the more I'm into this WOL, the less I'm concerned about weight loss. Just this feeling of well-being and happiness is overriding any other standard diet thinking.

Sooo anyways.... I know you are going to do great, and enjoy that omlette tomorrow! Don't forget also to drink PLENTY of water. You're going to lose a lot of water at first when you go into ketosis so you're going to need a lot to replace it and to flush out all that bad stuff.

Hope to hear about your successes soon!
