I'm new to the group. 25 married with a beautiful daughter (16months). I just started Atkins july 2004. I'm glad to see that i'm not the only one who is have problems. My problem comes from the fact that i'm on LC but my husband is not ( he's already thin with no help). I like what i cook for myself until i fix his dinner and i want to throw the LC life out the window and dive head first into his plate of mashed potato. I usually work threw it, but sometimes.... Anyway I'm glad i found you guys and good luck to you all.
P.S Elizabeth I've had the Ben & Jerry's LC Ice Cream and it's not as good as Bryers LC.

Welcome to the thread Bewat21. We're all here to support each other. Just jump on in! Hopefully you can find the support to resist them potatoes and such her in cyberspace. With every day it gets a tiny bit easier...

What's good ladies? Thanks for the article. So is this Luther before his medical situation or since? Just curious.

Hey! A cool thing happened to me yesterday. I was sitting and talking to a friend and eating a handful of sun flower seed (Bar-B-Que is the BOMB!!!) Anyway, we were chatting and as I popped one into my mouth, I missed and it landed on my chest. Now here's where it gets interesting. The seed in question proceeded to slide (slide I say!) down my chest. I was in shock!! I picked up the seed, placed it on my chest again, and slowly...it began to slide again onto my lap!! I was in shock. I thought my chest would forever be a permanent dinner tray...maybe not!

Hello all!

Welcome bewat21, hope you find the support you need here. We will all be here to back you up!

Coolwater, now see, I look a bumbling mess naked. You are lucky. I can't wait to cover this cellulite on my butt and legs up. My husband has never seen me like naked. Well he has but hasn't. I have never just stood in front of him naked I am so embarrassed of how I look. He also doesn't know how much I weigh!! He says it doesn't matter to him but it definitely does to me.

Nasira that was a funny poem. Hey I have the lower stomach pooch too. I hate that. I'm straight on the upper abs, but the lower is awful. I hear running helps that a lot. My husbands doctor told him that you shouldn't run if you are 30lbs or more overweight; has anyone else heard this?

Nasira I'm to glad to hear your dinner tray is gone! Isn't it those types of things that just make your day!

You know, some people think that if you are eating no rice, cake, candy potatoes, cereals etc that you are eating no carbs at all. He probably did cut all of these out but he is probably eating vegetables and and even some lc fruit. But I don't know I just wanted to make a comment.

Actually, I heard that he was only eating meat and cheese.

Hey Y'all, I'm off to Ohio. I will back in 2 weeks

Meat and Cheese!??

That can't be healthy! What about veggies and all the other things in life that taste good and are good for you? That is something that you can only keep up with for a period of time. Then once thats over BLAM!!! Weight gain. Believe me I've done something similar. I hope thats not the case for him.

Anjel, I've been feeling pretty tired myself lately too. My workouts have been killing me to do because I'm so tired.

I hope everyone else is well. Have a great day!

Hey Liz,

I'm extremly tired all the time to. For reasons that are quite obvious. I take Wed/Sun off. I usually do the eliptical machine lately because running makes me too out of breath.

What kind of workouts do you do??

Girl this cracked me up. I'm jealous I still have a dinner tray up there. Still a DDD but its 38 now instead of 44. I also no longer have a coffee table for a rear end. You know butt so big you can set a coffee cup on it? I did keep a lot of it though and I'm good with that.

No look, he says he eats vegitabls and fruit so he has to have carbs. His diet based on this looks a lot like Atkins maybe a little less fat...

I am glad to hear that he did eat vegetables. I couldn't imagine.

I'm glad to hear that he is eating veggies and fruit too.

After baby I think I will do something similar. Atkins with fruit I guess it would be more like SB.




What are you talking about I wear a size 38F (very hard to find they only have it at Fredricks) and I am growing plus I am going to have a shelf for these suckers to lean on in a couple of months!! I could cater a buffet!!

Hey Gabrielle, Anjel I'm going to have to try Fredericks. I'm a 38 DD down from a 44, but I can never find anything supportive enough.

You guys, I'm sorry I can't just can't keep up with my online journals. I'm so used to paper journaling especially my workouts that its hard for me to journal online.

I hope everybody has a good day today. I was at a low point yesterday it seemed. I'm getting ready to do some aerobics right now. Take care and keep burning that butter!
