Yes, I think you are being impatient. But I sure understand - I am the queen of impatience land. On a day to day basis, it seems so darned slow. I have been on Atkins for six months and have averaged about six pounds a month. I know I could lose faster if I cut out some things (cream, cheese, basically everything good) but I would rather have a food plan I can enjoy and really stick with than feel deprived. Which never works for me anyway. And we look better if we lose slowly and steadily. Hang in there! You have done great and it WILL come off. Cindi
