I'm just starting this Atkins diet today. This is the first forum I'm been to. So pardon me if I make mistakes (I most likely will) Anyway I see your from Memphis that was my home town. I live here in Florida now. Hope you having luck. ummmm BBQ sounds good. So far today I've done well I think. I had scrambled eggs for breakfast and cottage cheese for lunch and a Unsweet Biggie Tea with Equal. I can't believe how many carbs in everything. I've got to learn what to eat. Good luck! Kathy
