I started Atkins on 11-20-01 and did the induction for 14 days and lost 10 lbs but had bad side effects then I switched to Cad/Calp and stayed on it until April 02 and lost an additional 20 lbs. Then for lazy reasons while I had company off and on all summer, I didn't stick to plan . I slowly gained 20 lbs back but kept off the 10lbs. I was really happy on the diet and was satisfied with the food and I always had dessert and still lost my steady lb. a week. To make a long story short , I had my checkup yesterday and my doctor encouraged me to start again. So I checked out the support forum and got reactivated. I see a lot more people are trying the Calp now than when I was on before.So I'm excited. Will be looking forward to talking on computer giving and getting support. wawtigress
