thanks Nat, i am already at the stage of shouting from the rooftops about this WOL, and I don't even know if I've lost any weight yet! I just can't get over that I am not standing over the breadboard all day long, and none of what I call "the weak shakies" (low blood sugar, I understand from my Dr) So, unless I start GAINING, I can see myself staying on this plan just for the other benefits.
