Thanks for joining us. Yes, you can do this! I know that after the first couple weeks on Atkins, I loose my cravings for sweets for the most part. It's the best diet to be able to eat a healthy selecton of foods and continue to loose weight steadily.

Set yourself mini goals and reward yourself each time you reach one. Last time for me it was every 5 lbs. Then I said ' that wasn't so hard - I can loose 5 more now'. It's not so overwhelming that way. After the first month, I really didn't think of it as a diet, just a different WOE.

Please keep us informed, we all want to hear how you're doing.
