After all, I've taken that class several times now.

I've been back to LC since Mid-May. All my weight went the first week and I've been stuck (floating around between 159 and 164) ever since.
I did Atkins 4 years ago with great success - and regained it all and then some during the next 4 years - while re-starting Atkins maybe 100 times or so. Sometimes it lasted until lunch, sometimes all the way to Friday.

So I'm sure I thoroughly messed up my metabolism and now will have to just stick with it, until my body gets the message. Meanwhile, I was feeling fine, followed the rules (all but some weekend cocktails - but I wasn't adding any forbidden foods) until a couple days ago, when I ran into the jar of peanut butter.

Peanut butter is pretty low in carb - but not if you eat it by the JAR!!! And I did - first I finished the crunchy - my favorite. And then I got out the creamy. I didnt' finish that - I threw the jar in the trash while there were still at least 2 tablespoons left in there.

But I can tell by by that "pumped up" feeling in my stomach, that I've had way too much and could kick myself - oh, and while I was at it, I had a beer, too. Not the Coors Light with it's 5 carbs, one of those home-brewed ones. I rate it at least 15 carbs.

No more peanut butter in my house - it's stronger than I am. Oh well, in a couple days I'll be back to where I was.....
