Thanks Hon! Yea my friend says the same aswell. She's a bit older then me, but to always remember that starting now or back when you started is better then not starting at all.

Really what motivates me right now is Springs' Acmon! There is so really really nice clothes that aren't expensive not really and I am dieing to get to my goal weight. Plus I want to wear a full fledge bikini this summer

What's kinda like bugging me at the moment is my mom, I told her about it. I told her about the 14 day Induction. "no pasta, no bread, no starches, no milk unless its cheese or butter, no fruit." I guess I should have left fruit out because when I said that I guess she was thinking I was going on a restricted diet "which Ive already done she just don't know that".

I was like "LISTEN MOM, ITS ONLY FOR 2 WEEKS NOT THE REST OF MY LIFE. Just to get me started off."

She claims that I should take this slowly or whatever. Robert Atkins actually made sense to me. I told her if she would read the book or the 1st ten chapters 'which is a breeze for her' that she would see what I was talking about aswell..

Hi Angel, your Mom is right when she says to take it slowly. This is not a "crash diet' but rather a way of eating for life. Slow, steady weight loss is the way to keep it off! Since you have read the book, which is great, and you follow Dr. Atkin's advice you will lose weight in a healthy manner.

Oh yea Slows always good for me. Sometimes I do get to excited and want to jump in with both two feet.

What I think she thinks is that I won't eat fruits for the rest of my life and I am trying to tell her that its totally not like that. BUT, Shes not really arguing me with me about it so I assume its all okay.
