Since September I've been chipping away at my weight on various diets. The low carb ones seem to work better for me than the low cal/low fat ones do...but still it's just been sooooo slow!

I was hoping to have all the weight off prior to our leaving on an extended vacation (5 1/2 weeks in Hawaii), but I only have a little over a week to go before we leave.

Although I'm not where I'd like to be...I have lost some weight and am scared to death that it's gonna pile right back on while we're away.

I know myself better than to think that I will remain totally faithful to this Atkins routine while we're away...and with no scale to "keep me honest" every few days or so I'll feel like I'm flying blind.

Any words of encouragement or helpful hints on eating while vacationing would be sorely appreciated.

Thanks guys!!
