Good for you, but you shouldn't set 10/26 as your date to "quit" atkins. You'll just gain it all back. It's great to have a goal day, but saying "i will not cheat until 10/26", implies you can cheat after 10/26 once you've gotten to goal.

Instead, you'd probably feel pretty good if you moved up the rungs properly, and by 10/26 you were allowed to have certain yummy things (like fruit).

good luck!

Great advice, Carbless!! Maybe set an exercise goal, or a no-sweetener goal, or a water goal. You deserve to be thin and healthy, well past your birthday. Take care and good luck!

Re: My Birthday Gift To My Self

Sorry, but if you are having any kind of bagel you are definitely not on Atkins. If you are really serious about doing this, then get the book, read it and do it right. And be prepared not to see a bagel for a very, very long time.
