The cool thing about Atkins is not fast weight loss but the fact that after several weeks you no longer crave junk. And you get to eat! May be slower at first, but I strongly feel that it is a lifelong plan and that you can obtain your goal without much difficulty.

Don't sweat over the scale. I have learned that it goes up and down each month several pounds. But the good thing is that even though it flucuates, the overall trend is definately downward!

Good luck, hang in there and happy LCing!
