I decided, since I lost weight on Atkins but not anything else, that I would try it again.

There is good news. I am not as sick as I was last time I started. I didn't get constipated. I didn't have bad stomach cramps. I haven't been so nauseous I thought I was going to pass out. And I am losing weight.

The bad news is there too. I am much more tired than I have been. I am getting sores on my mouth again. (This has only happened with Atkins and they went away as soon as I quit last time.

I don't know what to do. I want to be skinnier. A size 8 would be great. That was my original size goal. I think my weight is a little up from that, but it would be wonderful.

I don't know what to do. Some people have recommended South Seas, which is Atkins with a few more carbs. I am looking into it.
