now I'm embarassed to go out and see my old friends


Hi niksauntie and welcome. The above statement is what finally made me get my butt in gear and loose the weight. I am on atkins plan and I love it. To me it is the easiest to follow and not srtuctured. I got to the point where I can pretty much estimate what I can and can not eat. As far as being sick on atkins, that goes away after a few days. Some people feel more sick then others, I was the lucky one, not sick at all unless you count withdrawls, and mine were not physical, just wanted bread. I am now reading the Schwarzbein Principle (I read any LC book I can get my hands on), and it is interesting. I want to wish you the best of luck and please stay in the forum for support.
