As a lurking new member I just wanted to say thanks for all the stories of encouragement and support. After 6 weeks I am still battling my significant other over the validity of this diet. No - he doesn't want to read the book. In fact at lunch today he mentioned that with pork rinds no wonder I'm not losing any weight! If I don't get on the scale in front of him he doesn't believe me I'm losing. Yes - I realize this is his problem (did I mention he is a classical ballet dancer and has weight control 'issues') and not mine but I wanted to say thanks to everyone for sharing and letting me 'poach' on the rest of your strengths.

Any advice on how to turn someone's views around who just isn't interested??
