Well, it's been over a week (10 full days as of this writing). I wish I had some imperical data to share with you, but I did not weigh myself at the beginning. However, I CAN say that I do feel better (healthier) in just this beginning and there is evidence of some loss (next notch on the belt, etc.).
I can say that I have actually stuck to the plan, even in the first couple of days before I knew about "Carb Counting." I went back on the first three days and added up and it turns out I stayed below the magical 20 carbs per day number with ease; well below on some days since.
Had a couple of cravings, but just acknowledged them to myself and moved on, often munching on a ThinKrisp to get past it (Gn2Dnlnd should really like me - I've gone through about 6 or so containers in the last 10 days!).
At the end of two full weeks, I will weigh myself. I know I was somewhere in the 265-270 ballpark. I figure if I am under 260 I will be happy, under 255 and I will be ecstatic. If I'm under 200, I will call a doctor. If I'm under a doctor, I'll call my wife.
