Okay day 4 and still nothing. I'm still 181....I wonder if those calamari sabbatoged me. The breading was so light though and not your typical battered variation. I did drink a couple of glasses of diet pepsi (I hope the waiter gave me diet and not regular), do you think diet soda's could be a problem? I drink about a glass or two a day? I re-read various sections of Atkins last night and he okays diet pop.

I'm no longer in ketosis too. Two days ago the strip turned purplish (moderate), yesturday it was less purple (between moderate and trace), and today it showed only a trace amount.

I think I'll need seven years (maybe decades) not seven months to lose the 50 lbs. Maybe my brother-in-law can postpone the wedding.

Oh well...here goes day 4.
