Hi! Just like Angela says - just keep soldiering on!! We have to remember that it took more than one day to put this weight on and it sure is gonna take more than one day to take it off. If you go off LC don't beat yourself up but just keep on! I have been sick and I am lucky that my Doctor is very supportive of Atkin's - he has lost 98 pounds on Atkins himself! But because I have been ill, he told me to drink as much cranberry and grapefruit juice as possible this week (kidney problems). I was horrified at the thought of having to drink all this high carb juice. But this is a process and things are gonna come along which hang us up. I am still keeping my other carbs low - as I have lost my taste for most carb foods. Hang in there and keep posting - we all face obstacles on our way! Cindi
