Over the past month or so, I have been eating quite a lot of junk. Our
family decided to not spend a lot of money on presents we really don't
need and to give that money to charity instead. So we made a rule that
we'd only give each other fancy food treats. I was thinking fancy ...

yeah, i have been gone awhile but now i got a cool new computer and can read
groups again. Also I have been off the LC since Thanksgiving and have to get
it together now and continue the weight loss. I felt sooo much better on LC
too!! Lucky for me I haven't gained anything ...

It's almost January 1st.
You can hear the sound of resolutions are being made all over the country.
As always, we can expect an influx of newbies and an influx of all the
usual questions...

FYI...found Progresso CarboMonitor Soup really cheap.  $1.00/can at
Albertson's (in Texas) with their preferred card.  I liked the Chicken
Encilada--6 carbs/serving (1/2 can).  Very filling.

Ok so in the last year and a half I started to gain weight I mean I wasn't
thin ever but I started to gain 10-15 lbs a month my DR ran tests and it
turned out I had metabolic syndrome and now that I'm on meds I don't gain
anymore... I know so its time to get back on the bandwagon. I ...

Sports in the Winter:
Most bicyclists are warm weather wimps. They hang their bikes up in the
Fall.
A growing number of bikers like to extend their bicycling through the

That all of these low carb products with sugar alcohols I see never mention
that the "non carbs" from the SA's count.
They count... and people stall, and then people bitch about the DIET not
working, not the fact that they just haaaad to have that peanut butter and

In the movie "The Machinist" Christian Bale loses 63 pounds.  He goes from
normal weight down to amazing ultra thin.  You can see his bones everywhere.
I was wondering how he did it.  I read several articles.  I appears he
starved himself.

Been lo-carbing since back in 1998, when (believe it or not) the Atkins
diet (sic --- should be WOE) was recommended to me by a doctor. In
addition to Atkins, he recommended chromium picolate to stabilize the
blood sugar. Flash forward six years and now I have to change doctors.

Hehe.  I lost 1.7 pounds while vacationing with relatives in Southern
California.  I was gone for 6 days.
This was cool because instead of eating until I was no longer hungry, I
spent the week eating until full.  I kept a log of my foods and estimated

Just out of curiousity, when the folks on this group "killfile" someone,
 do you take the time to actually respond with a <plonk> remark or do
you just add them into your file? I have never killfiled anyone. I just
mark entire threads as "ignore" instead.

FYI just made some from the recipe on the 3lb box and they are GREAT! This
stuff really is the ultimate flour replacement so far. Tonight I'm going to
make the yeast rolls at 1g carb/roll. Yum!

I found this licorice web site
http://www.licoriceinternational.com/index.html. Licorice from all over the
world. Good news is that   some are sugarfree/no sweetener varieties and
also artificially sweetened. I didn't realize that it could be bought not

Well, I had to do something before gaining back all my weight. While I
believe that ultimately it is a matter of "calories in" (food) vs
"calories out" (base metabolism + exercise) and while I know that a
straight low-calorie diet can work (I've done it in the past) every time

I am new to this newsgroup.  I saw a friend last week who had lost about 60
pounds on LC.  I haven't seen him in about a year, so I don't know if I believe
him when he says he lost 30 pounds his first month of dieting!!  Is such
dramatic weight loss really possible with LC?
