You are doing so great Glo! I am not up for the challenge -- but it has taught me SO MUCH! I will have your protein shake some mornings, and am having legal veggies such as salad, cauliflower, etc (to keep me 'moving'). BUT I am going to keep cutting out the nuts, bars, and even watch the cheese intake. I think that I eat way to much cheese when I don't think about it! I will only use nuts, bars etc to get me thru special times -- not to get me thru every day! I lost 3 pounds this week on the challenge (but already put some back!). That wonderful bloat fairy may move out anytime she wants!

On to week two for Glo --- I can't wait to hear how you do!

I am definitely up for the challenge, glo! I started yesterday, although I am still not sure if I was wrong to eat those 4 lettuce leaves yesterday?? Oh well, if so then I will start again today!!

You're fine Beanie! Alex now says that a small salad each day is fine (following his challenge).

The BEST PART.. aside from losing weight is that even people that didn't participate learned something about Atkins! By understanding the diet we have the best chance of making it work for us. I don't think 4 carbolite bars and a mock danish were what Doctor Atkins had in mind, but rather a salad or something healthy.

The truth is that what I have found is that something like a salad per day won't make the least bit of difference. When I say a salad I mean a big handful of greens with some 0 calorie dressing and maybe a little tomato, cucumber or onion. It's the atkins bars and the mock everything that really cause the problems and I think everyone learned that. So for those of you that are going to stay on pure Atkins, add a salad, it's ok

So far so good...I do hope I can make it...Just to say I can do it would be enough for me!!

Beanie...I added one salad a day too...basically just lettuce...(I needed the ruffage!!!)

Not up for Alex's challenge. I believe strongly in getting my veggies in. But I am having a GREAT week this week and on a LOSING roll lately. Wishing everyone success.
