thanks sararay for giving the Dr. Atkins approach to my tip on counting calories... my Mom like you said it wasn't necessary... to properly follow Atkins I suppose it isn't necessary... but I've found now as I've limited them to below my daily exercise the combination with the low carb is really helping me to feel better and I'm journaling too and I think it'll just speed up my weight loss as I myself was overeating calories before... thanks for your proper input!

You're welcome. I am glad I didn't offend you, for I AM a purist when it comes to Atkins. LOL. If counting calories works for you that is great, though. I see you have some great results. I just don't want others to get confused about Atkins as it is not designed as a calorie-counting diet.

P.S. sararay - Even though my Mom told me not to and you're right it's not the proper Atkins way - I just started monitoring calories in the past week and a half or so because a South Beach dieter recommended it.. I think he noticed my weight loss was slow and plateauing at times - but thankfully at least to the jouraling I'm not really overeating and am truly following Atkins as I have to basically try to stay on or near 20g of carbs a day to lose weight - since a diet like Weight Watchers would never work for me...Atkins is the definite way to go!!! :)

Yea, you're doing great. Some of us just have to stay under 20g and that is the only way. I am just thankful that there IS a way for us. Right? Slowly down is better than up any day.
