Hi all,

Welcome to all the newcomers, this is a great place for support!

Sorry, I haven't been around, but my computer was down for about a week, I felt lost without my lo carb buddies!

Unfortunately, I came down with the flu, and was craving sweets so badly, I ended up eating some cookies and a bowl of cereal....I felt terrible afterward, since it was the first time I cheated since I started this WOE on January 1st....the good thing is I am back on today with under 20 carbs all day....I was a little afraid that while I wasn't feeling well, I wouldn't be able to stick to it.

Fortunately, the scale didn't go up, but then it didn't go down either....oh well, I will wait til Monday to weigh in again.

Hope you are all doing well.

PS: I have a friend doing the Zone diet and she has lost 6 lbs in 3 weeks....she says she is eating tons of vegetables, but has to limit the proteins.

I like Atkins since you can have as much protein as you want....I now find I don't even need that much to be satisfied.

Take Care,
Carol
