Thank you both - I still haven't shifted any more weight at all! - it has been another week. (Although i am finding the whole water thing really, really difficult.) I am perfectly willing to give this more time though, as I know that any diet has stalls. I generally feel so good that I dont think I'll ever go back to eating the way I used to...

I used to stuff myself with carbs throughout the day - bread being my main weakness.

I have been out to eat a couple of times, and have managed to stick to low-carb choices. It has made me very happy. I actually feel like the days of going out to eat and coming home uncomfortably full from stuffing myself with carbs are over!

Thanks for your replies!
