So glad to hear you are doing well! I did the Atkins diet with his first book too. The first time around! I have it and the newer version. I also purchased his new diet cookbook. It's great. I find interesting things in all three of the books! I've had to re-read things to get brushed up on the things I should and should not do. The plateaus are hard, but when the weight starts comming off, it's usually worth the wait! We can do it! I'm rooting for ya! Thanks for the support today! I wish you the best as well! We will do it one pound at a time!! :)
