Thank you guys! I will have been on atkins for what will be 4 months on the 25 of this month.

aphlat, I only eat whole foods. I don't eat shakes or the bars. I figure there is plenty of time to play with that stuff when i am at goal.

Lisa, I have been upping my carbs, that is why my recent loss has been such a surprise! A good surprise.

Thanks all for your support.
