Hi all

I've been reading your board for a few days and I have SO MUCH ADMIRATION for you guys. I'm fortunate in that I had less than 10 pounds to lose, but it just wasn't coming off no matter how hard I "tried". I used to have great will power when I was young and could easily nip any weight gain in the bud, but over the past year I gained five pounds and then when I tried to lose it, I slowly gained about 3 more (what the heck happens to our metabolism when we hit 40-something? UGH! ). That probably sounds like a drop in the bucket compared to the weight that some of you are battling. I couldn't seem to break the habit of munching on chocolate or cookies or chips throughout the day at work. Then Atkins hit the news. I had been on the diet briefly a few years ago but didn't really take it seriously. NOW I'm serious. I lost 4 pounds the first week and thought "Great! One more week and I'll be there". Well I stalled for 4 days after those four pounds, then lost one and then gained it back. I'll get there and I have to say this is the EASIEST diet I've ever been on. Never hungry, I don't crave the sweets although I do miss them. Atkins Advantage Bars help a lot. And I miss potatoes and pasta, but not to the point where I'm tempted to cheat. I have the Atkins Baking Mix, but haven't used it yet. Does anyone have any experience with it? What does the resulting bread taste like? I'm looking forward to trying some of the recipes I've seen on your site, especially the cream cheese type desserts. Yum. I've been sticking to basics of meat, eggs and cheese and I could use some variety right about now. Keep up the good work and I'll be cheering your progress. Hear that faint sound in the distance? That's me rooting for you!
