My inlaws have been great ... my mother-in-law even is on Atkins now after seeing how good myself and my DH are doing on it.

My parents are another story. My mother is morbidly obese and my father's way to lose weight is to eat one meal a day. I convinced my mom to do Atkins. She was eating nothing but sugar substitute all day. I told her that she had to count all that Splenda and she gave up quickly (she more than anyone I know needs Atkins).

She tries to be good whenever she cooks while I'm there but ends up fixing stuff like corn pudding, etc. Not good. She knows what I can have (she read the book). I don't complain ... I just eat what I can (she also always fixes lots of veggies (like asparagus) and meat.

I let myself go over carbs when with family (since now that I have moved I don't see them much).

Sounds like your hubby's fam is cool with accomodating you ... that is just polite. How often do you see them?
