Hi group
It is now 5 am here and I just had a little time to spend surfing so here
goes.
I have lost about 65 lbs on lowcarb and are really happy with the results

Has anyone else had a problem and being stalled in weight loss. My wife lost

if I haven't had enough sleep. Something's not right. I'm not going to give
up over it but it needs to be fixed. I need some energy.

Weighed myself on Monday morning and I was up from 271 to 274.5. I figured
it was water since I hadn't taken my lasix all weekend. But this morning
it's 276.5. GRRRROOWWWW.  The only thing's I did differently were have a few
Martini's an use some lo-carb barbecue sauce that had no ...

There is a new burritos shop going up and it is named "WorldFire" with the
'F' backwards.  The sign just has: "WorldFire Burritos" as if they don't
