I had to leave work early today. I mean, I chose to leave because I now have the infamous "flaming pits of death" that I have heard so much about.

I typically use the rock salt crystal kind (in spray form), but by 1pm today, I had blown that away. I also keep a spare traditional-type deodorant at work and re-applied twice - not ONCE, but TWICE - to no avail - it just made it smell worse.
They were even sweating, and fyi - I am the girl who never sweats or smells bad.

I have read other posts that suggest a certain deodorant/antiperspirant so I think I will make a run to the store tonight.

By the way, I am on day 26 of an extended induction - I guess my stinky pits mean that I am turning into a lean, mean, fat-burning machine!

Susan,

My best friend's stinky hunter husband (SHH lol) told me about this deodorant he uses when he's out hunting (because of course you wouldn't want the animals to smell him). AND its completely scent free for the same reason. He said it absolutely works! Hunters Scent Shield--he said Super Walmarts have it in the hunting section. Maybe that'll do the trick.

You guys are almost lucky. My FEET smell more horrible than they ever did on Atkins. I've been shamed into buying extra thick odor absorbing socks; even then, my boyfriend makes me wash my feet before coming to bed.
