Thanks, Neecee. I am really excited about it. Although the weight isn't falling off me, the inches are! Guess the old body is confused and going for the fat stores like they're supposed to do. This is really something I can adapt as a lifestyle.

The first week (Cycle 1) was easy (schedule wise)...same thing every day (<20g carb) as far as food selections. I know I could never do Atkins after that, but you never have to do Week 1 again...NEVER.
Cycle 2 (weeks 2,3,4) are harder to get used to because it's a combination of baseline days, carb down days and carb up days and those change a little with your selection choices within those weeks and go in different orders. It takes a little bit of getting used to and what you can eat and not eat, but by about the middle of week 3 (where I am now), it really becomes almost second nature.
Cycle 3 (weeks 5 and 6) are Excellerated Weight loss and you subtract a baseline day for a carb down day each week. Then Cycle 4 (weeks 7 and 8) are Maintenance and you do 5 baseline days with a carb up and a cheat day. If you have no more weight to lose....you continue Maintenance forever. If you want to continue to lose weight, you do a couple of carb down days and start from Week 2 again and repleat.
Low Carb Friends has a thread for the Wendy Chant CTFLC and it's all very well explained in there, even pretty much if you didn't have the book. There are also challenge threads now for each week.......scan through them and see if it sounds like something you'd like to do.

Only really the second week, when it was so new. I was constantly checking with the book (and I have the Companion book that I ordered online....has a sample menu for each day of the 8 week program). It takes quite a bit of time to see what you can eat that week, plan your meals, have the appropriate food in the house , preparation and logging each day. I think it's worth it though. This week (week 3) I'm not spending nearly as much time.
