You CAN do this and you will! Just wait and see!!! Can I ask you why you counted eggs as a 1/2 carb? I had no idea they had any carbs in them...

Hi Reina,
I'm going by the carb. content on the label which says that 1 egg has 1 carb.
I don't have the book, so I'm kind of going by what I glean off of sites like this and the Atkins site.
I only had 1/2 an egg so I only counted half a carb.
I really want the 6 carb. dessert thing - I'm completely unwilling right now to give that up at this stage. Heh.

I like your posts. They are as *ahem* precise as mine. LOL. FYI eggs are 0.6g carbs each. About the dessert, I found it really interfered with my weight loss even though it was within my carb limits, had pretty much the same dessert as you did. Learned it the hard way. Try just eating half of one, or half with lunch and the other half with dinner. If you spread them out more they don't have as much impact on your blood sugar. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work.
