I like your signature line. That's what keeps me going. Your experience going off LC helps remind me why I'm doing this WOE.

I feel so good on this WOE but the cravings have come back this week. I had a couple of days that I ate all legal foods, just ate way too much. Carbs and calories were way up but luckily had no gain. I feel like I have been in a stall, having lost 21 lbs on induction, and only 4 lbs since then. But I guess 4 lbs in 4 weeks is good.

I have a friend who started Atkins 2 weeks after me and she has not lost anything. I can find nothing wrong with what she's eating but no loss of either pounds or inches. It's a mystery. I don't think she is in ketosis either. Is it possible to eat LC under 20 carbs and not be in ketosis??? Anybody know?

So I guess I should count my blessings. I'm playing Canasta tonight with some friends who are in their 80s and needed another player. They always have a delicious carby lunch and always try to push it on me but I take my celery and cream cheese or nuts and just ignore their desserts. They think my WOE is unhealthy but they do admit that I'm looking good!!!

Onward and DOWNWARD!
