Hi folks.  I just wanted to say hi.  I've been doing the Atkins for the
last few weeks,
and am doing pretty well.  I love reading this site ... lots of good
info, and you

Does anyone else have a rough time during *the holidays*? I love the colder
weather, the dark nights and winter, but I really dislike Thanksgiving
through xmas. I'm not religious, I'm not close to my family, not married, no
boyfriend, etc. etc. All my inadequacies seem to be ...

A long day today -- had to be in DC by 7:00 a.m. for a workshop I was
chairing, so left the house at 5:00.  And I got home around 7:00 p.m.
No exercise today.  A tad bit more food than usual, mostly because DH
made a big dinner -- lots of steak.  But I didn't eat much in the way

Sorry to crosspost folks, and sorry to just barge in here asking this
question. I hope it's not something asked here all the time or
something I could have gotten an answer to by reading a FAQ or
something.

Since promising myself I'd really try the nutritionist's program as written,
I've lost 9 lbs!  In 2 weeks.  I know it will slow down, but in the meantime
I am floating on success.  After vacation in August I printed a picture of
myself in which I looked heavier than I liked, with ...

I was wondering if there is a website like NutritionData that list the
glycemic loads of various foods.  My 83 yo grandmother was just
diagnosed with diabetes and I wanted to do some research for her.  I
think that some people on the ng have mentioned GL and GI and I thought

After much delay I'm finally trying to put together a workout routine that I
can actually stick to.  My thoughts are for strength training (via the total
gym) on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and then some sort of cardio on
Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay!
I've lost more weight today
I've reached 158
and I am feeling great!

I've switched from bulking (muscle growth) mode to cutting mode this week,
and it sucks.  When you get used to eating at an 1800 calorie level, then
drop back to 1300, there's not much margin for error - you pretty much have
to make every bite count towards daily nutritional needs.  ...

My girlfriend has been convinced by a "herbal specialist" that all she needs
to do is spend a few thousand dollars on the Herbal Magic weight loss
program and she can be slim again.
I have been desperately looking for information on this "product" in an

Woo hoo....
Another loss - and I have finally digested my parent's food from yesterday.
Feeling much better today.
And - under 250!! Hooray! With another 2lbs I will have lost 2 stones (28lbs),

If you stay at a certain level (ex: 1000-1200 a day), does it not matter where
the calories come from (fat, carbs).

I'm a 30 year old guy in the UK and am looking to lose a bit weight before
Christmas, that's all. I've heard that there are (herbal?) appetite
suppressants available which also act as mood elevators. Trouble is, I'm
totally new to all this so I don't even know where to start looking ...

Weighed this morning instead of tomorrow because I am going out of town
and won't be at home to weigh.
Scale says.. 205!
Sub 200 is coming closer into view before the holidays like I had hoped.
