Failure is not an option. Period.

Day One Weigh-in 174.8 lb. At my lowest (after Phase One of Atkins) I was 166.6. That was a month ago.

Plan: Limit net carbs (not from vegetables and 2 servings of fruit) to between 20 and 50 net carbs per day.

(Sidenote: Vegetables and Fruit (up to 2 servings) do not count toward our 20-50 g. of net carbs. They are whole foods, from nature, and should not necessarily be limited (with the exception of high sugar fruit *i.e.bananas* and high sugar/starchy vegetables *i.e.potatoes*). Weight Watchers allows fruits and vegetables for zero points. So do we! ;)
