I LCed 2 years ago, with REALLY great success. Back then I started at 185 and got down to & maintained 155. Also back then the Atkins bars didn't cause me to stall & I found a fairly cheap source of supply of them. Then Oct. '05 I had some crisis events in my life and also some men making sexual remarks (which being newly divorced, I ABSOLUTELY did not like & told them so, but they still wouldn't stop). So I decided, the H____ with it. I went on a 3 month binge, eat junk food I had never eaten in my life. Gained 45 lbs. Felt horrible, had to buy clothes bigger than those I was wearing when I started on LC 2 years prior, etc. So I got back on LC in about March. Unfortunately, it's harder. And Atkins bars seem to cause me to stall, plus that supplier no longer carries them, so they aren't within my budget.
DD didn't start until - I think it was about the 1st of May. I think Dr. may have had more influence in convincing her to give it a try, than I did - LOL! But I'm really happy for her that she also really likes it - it's not a diet, it's a WOE that makes a person FEEL better. Looking better is just an added bennefit!
Do you have others in the family to cook for? Are they eating LC too, or do you have to cook carb foods? Either way, this forum has some really good recipes that spouses don't necessarily realize is LC!
Good luck to you.
