I will try to make this short. Since, I have been up for almost 24 hours straight working. I have been very busy. I have started the Atkins Diet. I started it last Sunday, July 21,2002. I have lost 8 pounds. I am extremely hungry all the time. You are not allow to have but limited carbohydrates for the first 14 days. I'll keep you informed of my progress. It is off to bed I go.
