Thanks for the reply. I had not really been counting calories on this diet until the last week or so. However, I was not losing and think I was eating too much of the legal foods. I have read numerous places that calories do count. I enjoy all the allowed foods on the LC plan but it just does not seem to be working for me. I am open. I am not real calorie conscious and do not want to be but I do want this to work. What to do????
