Hey Shae,

Well, today is my 3rd day on PP and I've lost 2 lbs so far. I keep thinking someday it's gonna backfire! I know I shouldn't be that pessimistic! I have to stop thinking like that!

I had similar problems on Atkins... Every time I tried adding carbs to get to 25 a day, my weight would start jumping up on me! I would cut out nuts, cheese, cream or whatever I was having that I thought might be the problem, but even with just veggies, I would gain. With PP, I've been getting 30-35 carbs every single day and I'm having nuts, cheese and cream and am not having a problem! So, I wonder if maybe I was just getting way too much protein and maybe it wasn't actually the fault of the added carbs. Whatever it is, I am glad to be losing the 5 lbs I had gained on Atkins. In a lot of ways, though, I do still feel like I'm doing Atkins since PP is really similar in so many ways. Like you, though, I know that I will want to add in some other things later on that I wouldn't be able to on Atkins.

I hope PP works well for you also. Keep me posted.
