feeling GREAT and a couple o questions! :)

[mish711]

I'm feeling REALLY good!!! I've noticed since I've been eating better, I've felt SO much better!! I was gonna go out for a walk/jog today, but I think it stopped raining a total of like, 5 minutes!! So, if it stops, I will! SOOO instead, I did some crunches, sit-ups and push-ups (against the wall ... just as hard! let me tell you!!) in my apartment!

And thanks to some great advice, I've been using thedailyplate.com -- but I've been worrying about all the cholestoral, especially in eggs ... and I think I've had TOO much fat content, but my carbs have been under 20g per day ... so that's good I guess! I've been drinking 3 liters of water a day. Do you guys calorie count, too? I've been trying to get my daily calories lower also, to help me lose all the weight.

Anyway! I really am feeling great! AND I've been in a great mood the last week or so since I started to ease into Atkins, all the CRAP i was eating before really did effect my mood!!

Also, is there anywhere online that describes the Rungs (?) and different levels of the Atkins plan? I don't have any of the books yet ... and do Ketosis strips just tell you if your body is in fat burning mode? I need to buy some!!

And how do you measure OUNCES on a solid food??? I'm excited, I really can envision myself dropping all this terrible weight fast! I am not going to go back to the eating habits I had! A lot of it was because I had tons of financial problems and all I could afford was ramen and mac & cheese and i was eating a lot of spaghetti ...

can't WAIT to see results!

Congratulations and welcome to the board!! There is all kinds of resources here to show you all you need to know about the rungs and such. Do you have a copy of the book? If not, you should really get a copy!
