I'm thrilled because I have just lost my tenth pound. I want to lose 40lbs in all. The Montignac plan is so easy to follow and I haven't been tempted at all. Well, not much anyhow. I think that is because I can still eat a wide range of foods and I feel really healthy and full of energy.

My skin is also looking and feeling wonderful, as is my hair. I take a multi-vitamin and also a kelp and evening primrose supplements.

I know losing the weight will get more difficult, but I can see the difference already and I really want to get back into those clothes lurking at the back of my wardrobe, and I know I will do it. I keep a favourite (currently too tight) dress on a hanger on the back of my bedroom door just to remind myself, plus a photo on my dressing table of me in the taken in that dress looking great a couple of years ago.

CONGRADULATION!!!

Thanks for congratulation and that great smiley. I wish I could use that dancing cheerleader on my AOL emails as well, but somehow I can't make it move!

I see you are following Dr Atkin's plan. I did followed it about 15 years ago, but it didn't allow fruit and very limited vegetables. I found it really difficult as I am not a big meat or fat eater. I presume the diet plan has evolved since then. I also joined Weightwatchers three times (!) and lost weight each time, but it took ages and I put it back on quite quickly. Now I am at my heaviest ever, but determined to shrink back to my old size.

Good luck with your diet.

Congratulations on the 10 pounds gone. cheer:
