Thank you again for your great comments and support. I am down another pound today but I don't want to get too cocky about it. I am keeping track of my carbs on another site. I am really lucky because I have good results right away and I am a carnivore big time. For lunch I am having a hamburger patty with cheese and 1/4 cup of summer squash. I am not a vegie person although I know I am supposed to have about 15 carbs a day in them. I kind of have to face the fact that this is my new lifestyle and not so much dieting. I think some of us just have a really bad response to carbs so maybe cycling won't work for me. Time will tell. Have a great day! Ps I really tried not to weigh today but it is useless.
