I noticed the original post came from WebTV. Someone in another newsgroup complained that they suddenly could only see posts from other WebTV users. That may be the problem here too. Sounds pretty stupid if its something WebTV did intentionally. Then again, maybe they’re trying to get a few customers to quit. says… – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -it’s not a diet, it’s a WOL, so there is no escape! :p The diet works, they’ve lost weight and moved on of course :) Peter I only have 466 posts , for 2 + years there has always been 1500 posts , are the low carbers quitting or have a lot moved to a different site?

well, I’m here but I’ve been trying to be quiet, reading Lyle’s book and ploughing through some`120,000 unread posts in my MFW file… and I’ve been rather busy ( !! ) expending my time and energies in _that other_ way… I’m also rediscovering The Joy Of Squats. Joy? I_hate_ em, but they bust every stall like dynamite up a mule breeder’s stable…. (er, domkey? ass? Wrecked ‘em.. ) But I’ve been quiet for too long. I’ve got more experimental data and unproven wisdom to impart and cause further threadwobbling upset. I’m coming back, me, to inflict myself on the group just ‘cos I owe it so much for getting me back on track <all groan Seeya soom — We are Borg – resistance is increased when repetitions get out of hand.

I know I’m not getting all the posts, which is actually kind of a relief…I mean, I’m still getting 300 or so a day, which is about as many as I can handle! Cheryl Started Atkins Induction 01/11/00. Don’t own a scale, don’t know what my weight is starting out, and don’t care. Tried everything else and just wanna feel better.

Jenny, I was thinking this same thing yesterday! I know *I* was guilty. I went off my plan, first with a dinner at the home of friends late Friday night (beef bourguinon on buttered noodles, sigh!), and then snarfing some of the kids’ trick or treat candy yesterday. I paid dearly for my sins by being up most of last night with heartburn and the runs. It was, really and truly, a relief to get back on plan today. – Anne

did you plan this cheat? if not, then how did it happen? and then snarfing some of the kids’ trick or treat candy yesterday.

Why not just plan ahead and get some LC candy to keep for you to help you avoid your kids candy? that’s what I do I ask this becos I have eaten a few things out of my ordinary routine but I didn’t call it cheating. I bought a tiny little round cheesecake, about 2 1/2 in in diameter for my birthday, stuck a candle in it, sand HBTme and shared is with my kids. (DH was working until 8pm so he didn’t get any <g I ask these ?s becos I am curious, not to pick on you or anything like that. I’m glad you are back on-plan and feeling better — Lori 220/145/135 LC since 1/17/03 Nov Challenge 145/140 http://community.webshots.com/user/lorismiller

Response:

No. I had a glass of wine and it was late and I’d had a very protein-light salad at home at around 5:15 in all the rush of getting my son ready for trick-or-treating, the jack-o-lanterns lit, blah blah… so I was very hungry and tired by the time we were sitting down to eat around 9 pm with our friends. I started eating just the beef and vegetables, but… I just caved. No excuses; it was a lapse in a weak moment. Why not just plan ahead and get some LC candy to keep for you to help you avoid your kids candy? that’s what I do

Nothing can compete with an honest-to-goodness Reese’s p.b. cup! especially in multiples. 8-/ I bought a tiny little round cheesecake, about 2 1/2 in in diameter for my birthday, stuck a candle in it, sand HBTme and shared is with my kids.

This is good to remember. My birthday is in less than 2 weeks, and my DH will be out of town that day on business, so it will also be just me and the kids. I ask these ?s becos I am curious, not to pick on you or anything like that.

I know, Lori — thanks for the suggestions! I’m glad you are back on-plan and feeling better

ME TOO! – Anne
