I've been sitting in a mini-stall for about 10 days, so I'm finding good
things to focus on instead of being negative about not losing right now.
I've lost a chin! Woohoo! How I noticed: When my husband is driving
somewhere and I'm in the passenger seat, I occasionally glance at ...

Everyone knows about the low carb meats, dairy products, vegetables
and fruits out there, but what many people don't know is that the
condition under which a food is supplied can  affect the carb count.
Below is a list for newbies and old timers alike.  I think many will

I've been of and on atkins (last year i lost a lot of weight, but put some
back on so i'm going back on it... tomorrow!). My old man has recently
started the diet, 'cos he's always been overweight (runs in the family) and

"But what should have been a public relations triumph for McDonald's quickly

am Jerry, my wife and I were one quite overweight, we lost a lot of
weight by counting calories, I went from about 330 to 240, but have
since gone back to about 270, probably since I got tires of starving

Let me start by describing a few of the symptoms. This may sound like an
exaggeration or some kind of troll, but I assure you it is not. I am
actually trying to find a reason to continue this diet. I am desperate.
I have been on Induction since Monday 3/8/04. The first two days were ...

In the Atkins book, it says to stay away from aspartame.  But I see many
recipes using sugar-free jello, which is sweetened with aspartame.  Is
sugar-free jello okay, particularly during induction?
Thanks,

Quickly brown the outside of a 3lb (obviously choose your own size) rump
roast in a skillet with some olive oil.
Put a the rump roast in the crock pot, put in about a can (maybe can and a

DONT!!! ICK!!! I bought the raspberries and cream. It tastes like like
Pepto Bismol. It is chalky in texture, watered down tasting, and is in
everyway like true Pepto Bismol except for a few seeds and the
viscocity.I magine Pepto with some gelatin added to thicken it. I took

Boy, you learn a lot about yourself in unknown situations.  my daughter flew
up this weekend to Boston and we road tripped up to Montreal and back. I
think I faired pretty well, but made some interesting observations.

Apart from this group, as you've lost weight, has anything been said to you that has been particularly encouraging?
I'd love to hear it... Maybe it was the person who said it, or what they said, etc...
Mine was in January, when I walked into a school meeting and one of the parents ...
