No problem Fishie48. All of us need encouragement. I restarted my Induction officially yesterday. And it is a miracle what just being back on track for 1 1/2 days can do! I feel so much better. You will get that 8 off before you know it. That is the only downside I find with Atkins, you lose great and maintain, BUT how easy and fast you put it back on if you allow yourself to stray too far off. I guess that is why they say it must be a life change for a person or just don't do it. So I will be a lifer because I am sick of being a hefer! haha!
