I also started in Thanksgiving week. Since it was only two of us for dinner it was easy for me to stay on track. Well never easy but I was not faced with the pies and what not.

I was on Atkins in the early or mid 70's. TOTALLY drifted off. Trying again. I did loose 5 pounds in the first week. I had been doing the low calorie low fat since August and lost 12 pounds and gained 6 back. Got frustrated= pissed and gave it up again. Now I am more determined. Doctor was happy with my overall weight loss which is 15 pounds since August when I last saw him. He was not upset I am doing Atkins as I feared he would be since my cholesterol was high. But he put me back on my thyroid meds in August and low thyroid can effect cholesterol. So I have hopes I am going to be in better shape pretty soon.
