thanks for sharing your experiences with me. Mine are light brown, fluffy, float, other times it's almost diarrhea like which floats too. So, I know there's no intenstinal bleeding, unless I get hemmoroids from all of this :o. Yesterday wasn't so bad at all. Only happened once to me. I too noticed that if I go too long in between meals that it happens. I try to do what the book says and not go past 6 hours without eating, but sometimes I just forget to eat.

I was really happy that I officially lost 13lbs in exactly 4 weeks from today. Now if only I can keep that weight loss up. It's great to know there's others close to my own stats.

ok, so I found out last night that 2 people I work with did the Atkins not too long ago. THey mentioned how messed up their stomachs got while on the induction. THank god I found others who went thru the same thing. They said it's a combo of my body adjusting and ridding itself of the bad stuff, and the salad would do it too. Partially due to the dressing and "loose" carbs. Now I don't feel so freaky for having to go so much.
