Hi Scooter and thanks for the warm welcome! Today, I've officially reached my one week mark and I'm feelin' fine! Down 6 pounds so far! I can't believe how quickly the weight (even if it's just water) seems to come off when you eliminate the carbs! I've even got my hubby doing it. His, I think, will be a bit more challenging for him as in the past he's stated that he could just eat a plate for of bread and rolls for dinner!

The biggest challenge for me will be this weekend when we hit up the movie theater for "Spiderman", and I smell the aroma of movie theater popcorn. It is my ABSOLUTE WEAKNESS!!! I just can't see myself sabatoging an entire week of hard work for a moment of popcorn on my lips! Pray for me guys!!!!

Take a small back of cheese crisps, or pork rinds, or veggies, something to give you that crunch!! You can do it! We believe in you......

Great news that your DH is giving this a try!! Good for you both, the love and support you can give each other = success!!!

Good job on the 6 pounds too!! Excellent!!
