I'm just starting (again) today, going back whole hog, no pun intended, on a serious low-carb thing. I've been doing my own combination of eating plans, mostly pulling from Atkins and South Beach. I did the South Beach "induction" thing for a week a few months ago and lost 8 pounds, and since then have lost about 3 more, but I got waylaid by a bad cold and haven't been able to work out, and I've just gotten lazy as well: cheating all the time, going crazy with LC chocolate, etc. So here I am, day 1 again, to get myself back on track. I don't mind the slow progress at all, as long as it keeps going down, but I KNOW it's gone up in the past few weeks and I need to get my s*** together again! So here I am.

I've been lurking for the past few weeks and have gotten a lot of great ideas from this board. Thanks!

Hello Vi, and welcome to the forum!!!

Cheating lc is better then cheating hc. Sometimes just keeping ourselves from gaining should be respected!

Welcome back to motivation!
