hi becky,

i hope i wasn't being too negative and scaring you off. i definately think calp is the plan for me. like deb said, it will all work out once you get the hang of it. i was so happy the first week enjoying my RM's. now i know that i used it as a license to indulge too much. calp takes just as much work as atkins and i have to relearn eating habits again in re-introducing carbs in a safe and discipline manner. this was just a bump in the road for me and not a sign to turn around. i wish you well on your own journey and hope my comments were useful to you.
