Awesome, Wendy!! I’m sure you are feeling so much better already. It’s been 7 weeks today since I began low carbing and I have lost 15 lbs.  I am very pleased, too!  It’s nice when the pants loosen up a bit!  I can now bend over to tie my shoe without feeling like my head will explode! I take it day by day, week by week and continuously try to do the right thing.  Sometimes it even feels like I’m taking it hour by hour!  But, slowly the weight comes off. I look forward to hearing more about your low carb success. ~Carol Ann 160/145/125 www.bestinatlanta.com/weightloss.html <—My Story

Hi Rosie!Thanx!My daily menu can be quite wacy,depending on how hungry I feel,what my cravings are and what my family life is like.Right now is a little nuts,as I’m driving kids back and forth to the city(1 1/2hrs.)for dance competitions.My 6yr.olds’ dance group brought home gold this morning!(Am I proud?!:-) )Tomorrow my 9yr.olds group goes.Then I can chill except for swimming lessons!YEAH!!!

I am usually up by 6:30-7:00 am at the latest every day.While I’m packing lunches for kids I drink 2c water with 1 super one a day multivitamin,about 2000mg cal/mag supplement,and a 500mg chromium.I buy quest brand vitamins from good ol Wal-mart and they work just fine.I also take hemp-oil either by cap,or(eeyucchhh!!) by tablespoon.After the kids get on the bus I watch my morning show with a c of decaf coffee literally laced with whipping cream.This has been one of my staples every time I’ve done the diet.From here on out it gets wonky.Some mornings I have an Atkins choc.shake.Sometimes I don’t eat till close to noon,and then have a big plate of salad(Romaine lettuce,cucumbers,sunflower seeds,chopped dill pickle,sliced black olives and chopped boiled egg.Depends on the day,may add a tin of tuna or salmon to this and always a small handful of mixed grated cheese.)I usually use my own dressing which I posted a while ago-garlic dill dressing.Then during the afternoon,I may have more coffee and cream,or a farmers soda-diet decaf/lo-sodium cke with about 1/4 cup cream(m-m-m).Supper is a whim.2 nights ago I had fried mushrooms in olive oil,with salt and minced garlic,and a bit of cajun seasoning,then added cream and reduced it,and added 2 chopped up chicken breasts.It was delish.It all depends on what I have available,and how energetic I feel about cooking.Usually this is it for the day.Some days I eat less,as I’m just not hungry(like instead of supper I’ll slice half a cucumber and eat each slice with a gob of cream cheese.Or I’ll open a can of salmon and mix it with creamcheese and eat pork rinds dipped in it.)I noticed when I first started posting that some LCers were cutting out whipping cream,cream cheese and sour cream.For myself,I found out that the more fat I put in,the easier I go into BDK and the more solid.The first time I went on Atkins 2yrs.ago it took me the full 2 wks to get into BDK and I later learned after experimenting that I was eating too much protien and not enough fat.Thats when I also started supplementing with oil too-either hemp or Udo’s Choice blends.Whatever!I don’t have any set rules other than if it’s allowable,and I can make it edible(or palatable)I eat it.I also do as much water in a day as I can possibly handle.Definitely 8,but usually 12-16 c!And all you exercise buffs will hate me,but no I don’texercise.Sometimes I’ll go for a walk early before kids get up,but I usually just don’t have the energy.Some days I feel like I’ve run miles after the kids.However I am in the process of maybe picking up a mountain bike.Then I’ll take the kids out.They’ll make me!!Garaunteed.! Have a great day!

  Hi Iris! Thanx!Yes this groupis awesome!!And the recipes are wonderful!I had no idea there were so many out there.Here,I don’t know anyone who does LC at all,it is almost impossible to get products without going bankrupt to get them.I’ve invented a lot of my own recipes,but that gets boring!And all my in-laws(the women,who are overweight BTW)are all constantly on my case about LCing.Your going to wreckyour kidneys,your diabetes is going to kill u,which I wasn’t testing diabetic yet,but had 4 gestational diabetes pregnancies and was headed that way,and on and on and on.Of course none of them have read any literature on LC,only what they’ve hears in the news.And they don’t want too.They are to afraid they might be WRONG to get some real understanding of the concept under their belts.Now that I’ve beaked off I’ll say- Have a great day!!
