Hi Glenda! This is my thirteenth day low carbing. This is my second time on the new lifestyle. I was very successful when I did it before (June 1999-December 1999, I lost 50 pounds! I had a family tragedy and relapsed. I gained all of my weight back and then some! I am ready to start living again! I try not to rely on the scales too much. I keep track of my progress by the way my clothes feel. I got this advise from my Protein Power book. Good luck! I'll keep in touch!
