            I'm in. I started the book in June but only read the parts that seemed to pertain to my situation right then. I'm ready to read the entire thing. This is one challenge I can do while laying in bed at night, yahoo!

                  this is why or at least one of the reasons why we do this as a challenge. many and i mean MANY, have done just what you did. they read the parts to learn [or do i dare say, half learn] how to do induction and then ditch the book. i certainly can't make anybody read the entire book but i can give a nice token at the end of the challenge.

                              I'm in. I have been re-reading bits and pieces here and there lately, but a full re-read would be a good idea. Got my 2002 edition closeby and ready to go!
                              Start date: 2/22/04 347/222/135 ~ 5'2"
                              STAC Restart: 1/05/09
                              306/229/135 ~ 5'2" 77 lbs down!

                              Goal #1: 247 - 2nd 10% (59lbs, 247, also 100 lbs total loss) - Met 1/4/10!!!
                              Goal #2: 241 - Halfway to goal! (106 lbs lost) - Met 2/21/10!!!

                              Goal #3: 222 - 3rd 10% - Lowest Atkins weight
                              Goal #4: 210 - Still on track!
                              Goal #5: 200/199 - 4th 10% - One-derland! End year goal!
                              Female/Hypothyroidism/Arthritis/Fibromyalgia - If I can lose weight on this, so can you!
