Hey Rajenki - you read my mind! I almost added in my post that I know once I start exercising I will sleep better.

I was an avid gym-rat for many years and then have fallen off track the last two years. I have found that every time I start Atkins if I hold on on starting strenuous exercise until I lose the first 20 lbs that I do better than if I start both simutaneously. I am an active person so it's not like I'm sitting day/night - but if I start working out my legs swell and I either stall or gain weight. If I wait just a little longer and then start working out - I'm fine.

I will be back at the gym in no time though! I'm determined!

It's great to hear everyone is doing so great!! Thought I would check in and let everyone know that I am still on plan. I need to eat more than I do, but I am just so afraid that I will start gaining. So far, no, but I am up to 55 carbs a day, and still losing at least 1 or 2 pounds a week. The only thing is, I probably only get about 40 carbs a day. I am always on the go, between going to Mom's to help her, or to the nursing home, and several other stops. I need to make some time for me! Oh well, my time will come. Until next time!!

Hey all!

We rode to the mountains on the motorcycles today and stopped at a restaurant to eat. When I'm trying to do this the right way, I hate eating out. It just seems like there are just too many places to sneak in sugar! Salad dressings, marinades....good grief. But I had a few bites of greek salad with no salad dressing and a couple of buffalo wings, hoping against hope that the buffalo sauce was only butter and hot sauce.
