Tonight for dinner I made a couple of sausage and egg wraps as follows:
I cooked up a couple of breakfast sausage patties, drained, then scrambled
three large eggs.  In the meanwhile, I spread two low-carb tortilla shells
(purchased at WalMart) with about 1/4 cup of shredded mild ...

I have been a reasonable size & weight for a while now &  am thinking about
having a mini-tuck to get rid of the last of the stretch-marks and belly flab.

have reached 30 lbs:)
I have about 80 to go but wonder what the three different weights some folks

traditional midnight snack was cereal or toast. Seems a hard habit to break.
What goodies do you keep handy for these evening snacks?

impossibility.  Actually, I am not intending to use the diet, and
really dont need to lose weight, since I am about the ideal weight for
my build and age.  I'm just trying to find this out.  I also wonder if

I use Free Agent. How can I killfile someone?

Does one have to do the induction phase to lose weight - or can you
just go low carb?
Thanks :-)

I've ben LC since mid January. I lost 15# within the first week. Thelast 5

tried upping them, and gained back 3! I gave up anything with sugar alcohols
for 2 weeks to see if that would help. I started walking 2 ...
