My husband and son are doing great, and I have some improvement, but my scale drives me crazy. My daughter went to school one day and got weighed. She came home and adjusted our scale to match what she had at school, which promptly wiped out about half the weight loss I had thought I had. To make matters worse, I'm not even sure THAT is accurate.

You looked at the BookCrossing website? Thanks! It's an Internet project to share books. My husband found a Where's George dollar bill last week, which was neat.

The biggest reason my daughter is on Atkins is to try to help her smooth out her emotions. Weight loss would be ok, too, but she's not really that large. Carb-addicted very badly, but not yet an unhealthy size.

What do you think of the theory that violence in our society is largely due to carb addiction?
