I started the Atkins diet on January 20th, 2002. If I can loose 1.5-2.00 pounds (on average) a week, I will be one happy camper! I calculate that I will reach goal around March, 2003.

I agree, losing weight slower is much better - gives your body time to adjust - and you are not starving yourself. Plus the skin has more of a chance to bounce back!

I also agree,

LOW CARB RULES!
