Linda,

Thanks for the words of encouragement. However, I am happy that I have lost 8 pnds. Also, it seems that over-doing my RM carbs is not stopping my weight loss. I don't care if I lose more than 1-2 pounds in a week. I am still losing my goal per week even while I splurge. My question is, can I assume that I am taking in the right proportions for my body as long as I continue to lose? I like dessert and it does not seem to overly affect my losing.
