Mine didn't think I could lose the 40 pounds I'm aiming for, either, but now that I've lost 15 in just a few weeks, he is re-assessing his position. <G>

I'm a busy mom, too--I have 3 boys, aged 3, 5, and 31. I've found it much easier than I expected to stay on Atkins while still feeding the little guys (the big guy has to fend for himself since we work opposite schedules.) The one thing I'm finding difficult is getting enough exercise, but now that the days are getting longer, I can put my kids in the stroller and walk the neighborhood, so that's improving.
