I have alot of work to do. | 12 lbs in 10 weeks is not bad --- that's ~1.2 lbs per week. If 10 years ago you lost 25 lbs in 6 months, that's 25 lbs in something like 25 weeks, so 1 lb per week. Your weight loss is at least the same now, if not faster. How much do you have to lose?
Can't wait to see your "Atkins made me X years younger" post! Happy losing!

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
