I found that the atkins website has a great 12 page list of all foods and their carb, cal, and other important info!
I calculate my carbs daily and for the last three days I have only ate 20 net carbs a day! I lost another 2 pounds and I am feeling great. Just got back from dance and feel so energized!

Yep, I'm totally not interested in eating! That sets me up for bad situations though because then I tend to eat later or not make sure what I'm grabbing is high protein. I need to work harder on making sure I have three concrete meals a day!
And "compact" sounds like the kind of compliment my hubby would give, and he would mean it in all sincerity!
Have a great vacation!! Keep water in your hand and you'll be able to stay away from the temptations.

Uppy, how long did you do the "strict" diet?
So far I'm pleased with my progress, but I haven't been able to give up my nightly glass of wine, plus my favorite salad dressing has sugar in the ingredients.
I may try the strict diet for a week to see what happens. I'm not too far off. I've been drinking my coffee with milk. I can transition to decaf over the next few days, and take it with cream instead. I can handle limiting fruit to cantaloupe and strawberries. I wonder if my grocery store has fresh coconut. That sounds yummy! I'll challenge myself to a week with no alcohol to see how that goes
