Oh poop! Today I went for my yearly physical. I had not weighed before I started Atkins on Dec 20, but I guessed I was at about 165. Today the Dr. weighed me at 175.

I figured I'd lost about 7 pounds already. Man, that is a lousy reality check! I got quite depressed after stepping on the scale.

So, what I did was go and buy myself a scale, so no more surprises or guessing.

I'm wondering about the carb measurements in Atkins and another book I bought. Everything is measured in cups. I think this is too subjective for vegetables, and I also bought a food scale. Does anyone else have a problem with volume measurements as opposed to weight?

Thanks for the support everyone.
