Has anyone ever used the CholesTrak test kit?  I bought one
today and my cholesterol came out to 130.  The last official
test I had was about three years ago and it was 175 then.
Supposedly, if you follow the instructions, it has a 98%

Back in January we had a thread discussing the delays in online orders for
White Sugar Flavored Syrup / Zero Carb Syrup Base Concentrate [Liquid
Splenda] from: http://www.Locarber.com
Mine arrived today, all 6 bottles.  I did a quick taste test from a random

are those of you eating lots of saturated fat noticing your
hair is falling out?  i am.

Just wanted to let you know that this wasn't another false start.  I'm
really doing it this time.  I just don't have anything to say this weekend,
for some reason.
Sittin' here, eating sausage and cheese.  I had an Atkins shake for

If you like ketchup....
I bought a bottle of the new Heinz "One-Carb" ketchup yesterday. It's
really quite good. I doubt whether I could distinguish it from real
ketchup! It's a bit more expensive than ordinary Heinz, but only half as

Just thought I would stop in and say hi. I just started Atkins today and am
looking for advice on snacks and meal ideas. Doing good so far have  my day

mentioned above from others who have been on the plan ...

entering in Fitday foodlog.
Anyone having good luck with something under $40 or so?

My birthday is Sunday.  On my FitDay software I have my birthday in 2005 as

quite a bit of research on this way of eating, and lost quite a bit of
weight on it herself!), I am taking 1 tsp of Konsyl (psyllium husks) every

Can someone point me to one?  I bought some water today and I can't remember
my math when it comes to converting it all.  Pints, quarts, etc.  Basically
I have 0.5 liter bottles and I'm wondering how many I need to drink to get
my daily 8 glasses.  I'm thinking 4.  Am I way off?

I have been looking around for a good breakfast sausage, perhaps 1 that
doesn't contain nitrates, ...any suggestions?  Thx!

Hi there, I haven't posted in a while, but I have been lurking
everyday (I can't post from my work computer).  Plus I have been doing
this for a while and have pretty much figured out how things work for
me.  But I "ran" into a problem recently.  For my job I have to do a
