It's just something to shoot at...better to beat it than not make it, but as long as you're not gaining, it's no biggie. My predicted weight loss for March was 13.8 pounds. I set 10 because I expected to possibly reach my CCLL and see a solid week of no loss/minor gains.

A ten pound loss for the month is not hard at all--it doesn't really require me doing anything special. I've got too much weight so it is coming off easier. This is week ten and I'm experiencing no stalls so far. April's predicted loss is 12.1 lbs. I will try for that despite the expected slowdown.

Seems like its eased alot with the low carbing. Which is a good thing. |

down ...even with a slip up
for one thing that is what i was doing i know that i can't have the things
that i did ate and i haven't had any. also my point i was trying to make was that it wasn't even really that much for what i ate. and when i do over eat i don't make a big deal out of it. i do start over, the other point or thing that i was mentioning was that I had signs that I was getting my tom, which i have got by the way. thE REASON i have the webjournal is so that i can keep track of what i eat. and i know that it isn't a big deal that i over ate. thats not what the post was about. that is what i am doing i have taken things out of my diet. i have given up a number of things. if you took a look at my journal u would have noticed that i have cut several and have changed a number of things in my eating. also have done my research, i have read and reread both of dr atkins books i have notes that i have gotten off of the internet and from here that i check and double check each day. i write everything down that I eat and drink. And you know what I must be doing something right cause i have lost 6lbs and 10 inches in one week since yes I am going to say it starting my diet over. i am pleased with my progress thus far even if some people think that I am waisting my time or that I am not making any progress. i know that there are people on this board who are nice and the ones that ...... well i'll just end it here. and to finish with what u said. i have learned along time ago that i don't have to feel guilty if I let myself have something that isn't low carb or low cal Angie "DigitalVinyl" wrote in message ...
