To find these responses:
First off, it really is handy that they e-mail you when you have a response. If you don't get an e-mail, no one has responded.
But, you can go to
http://forum.lowcarber.org. Look in the upper right hand corner. There is a header that says: Support Forum.
If you hit this is brings up all the support forums available. You can look under the one you posted in and find your original posting and all the responses.
Just play around inside this site for a few days and you'll get to know the ropes. There is so much information here. I like to bop around from forum to forum to see the new questions, meet the new people and gain some new insights and inspiration.
For fun, go to Success Stories and get truly inspired.
As for whipped cream, check the carbs. Some are lower than others. If it's 2 carbs per tablespoon, just make sure you stick with a tablespoon. It's not much, but gives it that little extra zing.
Always knowing that the RM is only a few hours away is always enough to get me through. Heck, then I'll have a piece of apple pie for desert if I feel like it. The beauty of it all is --- I'm still on the plan.
BTW, Ignore my current weight. I'm pregnant right now so it's going up instead of down. Sigh. I went steadily (but slowly) down when following the plan before I got pregnant.
Good luck! You can do this.
