Dark lotus,
My weight is also up 1 pound and I have that ravenous appetite where all I do is eat. Onplan but always eating yesterday was the first day that I didnt have the huge appetite. Hopeing for a lose tommorrow when I get on the scale. As for the breath, I have been doing atkins for so long now that I don't real notice the breath anymore. I love the lbwo days. Thats where I need to lose most of the inches and it feels good. My hams are not as sore as my quads and this time around the only part that felt real sore was my abs. I finally got my before pictures back and yes thats enough motivation to get me to finish the challenge this time around. I may take photos at the 6 week mark just to see the difference but I know that this will only lead to a back to back challenge for me to get me where I want to be in the summer.
