Good to see all of you are coming to the forum often. Helps to talk to others about our weight problems. I just left the atkins lcer and thought , It is so nice to eat regular food in place of mock danish ,etc. And to look forward to a few lbs a month lost and still eat good food. My portions are way down lately and I hope to eventually lose the sweet tooth but as long as I can lose and have dessert(small) then it is okay. That's why most of mine is in the form of muffins. That takes the place bread and serves as dessert. Also I still love sugar free jello and it is an nice end to a meal and the only artificial sweetner i have now.I'm down to 187 this am. and hope to keep it moving.Happy Weight Loss to all and talk to you later.
