Start Weight:	(31 Aug 08) 159.0 lb
Current Weight:	(10 Oct 08) 151.0 lb
Goal Weight:	122.0 lb

following: Atkins
performance: losing 2.6 lb a week

I am 56 and traveling with my husband in an RV. We are currently in Missouri working a contract. I find exercise such a chore. I will do it awhile and then find my easy chair calling me and a good book. The food part is not so bad, I mean I am not ravaged by all kinds of junk foods. But I can and will over indulge, especially southern comfort cooking. I started weight watchers last year and quit after about 6 months. total lost 10 lbs but that has taken a year. I am afraid I am going back up the scales again. Looking forward to being a part of the community. :>)

Fiber Supplements
Ditto on the regular before, although I always had the 2 tsps of Benefiber in my coffee every morning. The problem was the carbs in it added to my daily limitations of carbs. Yesterday I found a new product and trying it out. UniFiber- states it is an all natural fiber supplement and less that 1 gram carb per 1 tablespoon. I put some last night in my "pumpkin pecan flavored w/cream coffee last night. The negative was it left a fine sediment (very fine) in the bottom of the cup- positive was it was tasteless and non clumping. So this morning I made sure to stir all during the drinking process so it was not left in the bottom. I think until you can increase the carbs a little with more fruit and fiber veggies this is what we have to do, because elimination is VERY important. And we must drink a lot of water and fluids to keep moisture in the colon. Hope this helps.

new report
In 2003, the prestigious medical journal JAMA published an article that its seven authors from the Yale and Stanford medical schools considered to be the “first published synthesis of the evidence” in the English-language medical literature on the efficacy and safety of carbohydrate-restricted diets. They concluded that the evidence was “insufficient to recommend or condemn the use of these diets,” because it lacked long-term randomized trials that could allow the safety of the diets to be established beyond reasonable doubt. Nonetheless, they did report the average weight loss from 40 years of trials and research. “Of the 34 of 38 lower-carbohydrate diets for which weight change after diet was calculated, these lower-carbohydrate diets were found to produce greater weight loss than higher-carbohydrate diets” — an average of 37 pounds when carbohydrates were restricted to less than 60 grams (240 calories) a day, compared to 4 pounds when they were not.
