Thanks for the replies so far! It helps to hear from people who have been there. I guess I am doing okay. Maybe one way to look at it, the initial 4 lbs were water and now that I've been able to maintain that for a month, it must now be real weight. Anyway, it isn't hard to stick with it, although everything Atkins says isn't true for me. I'm hungry & I ate 2 hours ago! I've been reading the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet and am considering switching over since it seems to address what seems to be missing for me.
