I did not weigh in yet today and since I already had breakfast, I won't do it since you know that food in the stomach adds weight - Ha! However, as of yesterday I have lost 4 lbs since Tues 1/3. I'm pretty excited about that. I'm back to my low carb diet and I already feel better and it seems to be the trick to lose weight a little faster for me. Note that I said LOW Carb not NO Carb. That is also a good thing for me so that I don't miss my favorite treats. I just have much, much fewer of them. I try to eat no carb whenever I can and then don't worry if I throw in a few low carbs or even a higher carb item every now & then.

I'm still counting calories, like you Kathy. I absolutely need something to keep me honest with my portion control. It is the only way for me. Kathy, I really like the sound of your Nutritionist's custom program. It sounds a lot like what I'm trying to do. When you say one snack can be chocolate or wine or cocktail, do you mean one of the three you are allowed each day?

Don, You were so brave about the layered ice cream dish. I'm so proud of you. I would be willing to bet money that you'll do well on your weigh in tomorrow. You always do!!!!! I'm with you about skipping the exercise last week. I'm planning to ease back into it tomorrow. Can't wait to start feeling good again!!! AND to be able to fit into more of my clothes. I'm sure the people at work are getting as tired as I am of seeing me wear over & over again the few things that fit!!!!

Are your headaches getting better, Don? Sure hope so. Hang in there. It's a good thing if it means getting back on the low carb track.
