Of course, I was down to about 273 before Thanksgiving. If I'd stuck with it, I'd have even less to go by now.

I weighed 286 on Saturday morning. Sunday, I went back on Atkins. 7 lbs of water weight in the first 4 days isn't too shabby IMHO. ( I am drinking plenty of water. The water in my belly is sloshing as I type.)

For the newbies who are trying this for the first time...THIS is why not giving in to the carb cravings is a good thing.
