Hi Brvida,

It is good to hear from you. I can relate to putting the skids on Holiday snacking. I'm having a similar problem. Had to get back on induction for 5 days then snacked. Now I have to start over tomorrow.

You are so lucky on 2 counts Brvida. First your DH is also on Atkins. That is fantastic. Makes it much easier doesn't it? My DH is almost underweight and a sugar addict (not admittedly so). He is willing to help me by cooking for me but he brings home bakery goods and candy and hides them NOT so very well. I happen upon them on occasion and curse him with a raised fist.

Secondly you do not have to work anymore. I still work full time as a Secretary for a legal firm. While I love my job, I would love even more being "a lady of leisure" stroking my cat by a sunny window.

We can give each other support and cheers and comfort through the tough times. I believe we can do this. What are your goal? My ultimate one is 130 lbs. My Mini goal is 160 lbs. I am now at 165 and started at 187 lbs.
