Hopefully Leenie sees this and adds it to the FAQ list for newbies.

Atkins Chick,

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this! It is very informative, and answered a lot of my questions! I think that the scale can be a crutch. I once has a personal trainer who told me to only weigh myself once a week. That way, I didn't obsess on the actual weight. I went by how my clothes were hanging differently, and how my cheekbones were making a comeback.

Yes I will stick it to the FAQ..... thanks.

I added it to the FAQ's but it stuck itself b/4 the last post I had posted. Computers have a mind of their own. I'm just glad I didn't lose it lol.

THANKS !!!!!!
