Yes, the Skinny Minnies look us up and down when we gleefully announce a weight loss of 8 lbs ... but I guarantee you they'd be running for their Slim-Fast if they GAINED 8 lbs!!! (evil grin)

I'm lucky at work: I have two friends (both slim & healthy) who follow a lo-carb WOL, and the rest of my team (even though they think I'm wacky for eating cheese and meat and leaving plain baked potatoes alone!) is very supportive and sees every lost pound as a milestone.
