This is my first day on the low carb forum. Don't know too much to say yet. I just bought the Atkins for Life book, but have been low carbing it since November 3. I started on the 3-day diet and with the help of a co-worker did Atkins on the 4 days that I was off. I've been on this cycle, but am thinking about going totally Atkins.

I'm a carb addict....I almost gave in today when a student of mine asked me if I wanted some Mrs. Field's cookies. I know I'm in ketosis, because it was just a mental desire and not physical. I was able to say no, but the memory of how good cookies taste was overwhelming and how comforting the flavors are. Oh well, I made it through.....

I think I'm really going to enjoy this forum, and look forward to hearing from anyone who wants to be an encouraging buddy.
