Talking Just *had* to share...
Okay, I'm not usually one to post and toot my own horn, but I decided to post this excerpt from my journal because I thought it might help motivate someone. I'm very happy with what's going on with me and my body since starting Atkins, and I just want everyone else to have success too. So, here it is....
Okay, once again I got a visit from the Woosh Fairy... and I'm just tickled pink! It may not be real, I suppose... could be dehydration from all the coffee yesterday, but I did have a lot of water too (100 oz)... so hopefully it is real.

This puts me at my lowest weight (56 pounds lost) since starting LC on Jan 12, 2003. (only a smidge more to break into the 140s :jump: ) Also, it puts me at a loss of 10 pounds since starting Atkins (again) on June 1... and my 7-day average is down by 7.2 pounds since then. I'm a happy camper. I'm sure my 3 walks this past week helped, so I need to find a way to keep that up.

Here is my weekly progress so far...

Induction W1= Actual -5 ~ Avg -3.4
Induction W2= Actual -1.5 ~ Avg -2.4
OWL W1 ~25g= Actual -3.5 ~ Avg -1.4

Today's Morning Weight 150.5 ~~ 7-day average 152.7
So... for those of you who are wondering if it works, it does!!! Here is one of the great things... I made a special treat (won't mention what so as not to tempt anyone) yesterday for my DH and DDad for Father's Day... did not lick the spoon, bowl or my fingers... wasn't even tempted. Didn't feel deprived when they had dessert either. It's wonderful!

So, here's to my 2nd week of OWL at 30g Net Carbs per day...

Thanks, Emily and Mary Kay! Feels great right now. I should probably print out this post for later, when perhaps, I might lose motivation. But, right now... I'm flying high!
