Thank you all! It's been over a month now and I'm still at/below goal. I've been in control throughout vacations and Halloween so I'm feeling confident, yet know I need to remain diligent as well.

To add to it all, I got my cholesterol tested last week and the results arrived today. My overall number went DOWN 7pts from last year (before starting Atkins) and all the other numbers went up or down (whichever way is better for them to move) -- some quite significantly. Coming from a family where everyone dies of heart problems, you don't know what it means to see all those numbers in the "best possible" category and know my risk is lowered significantly.
