I am doing Atkins. I am completely focused. I am going to lose 38 pounds. I am a busy Mom with two kids and I work 50 hours a week. I am on the lookout for easy, easy and simple, simple simple.

For breakfast, I always stop at McDonalds and eat a sausage patty, slice of cheese and a circle egg (poached).

For lunch, I almost always have a grilled chicken breast from McDonalds with lettuce, mayo and no bun (of course!)

I struggle with my dinner. I am always, always running around with the kids to karate, dance, basketball, etc. It is really tough to get a good dinner. Sometimes, I wait too long until I am starving to death, and then eat something inappropriate.

I do much better during the daytime than I do in the evenings.

I have cut myself back to one diet pepsi a day (with the caffeine) is that horrible? The rest of the time, I am afloat with water.

I just started back again on the exercise bike. I try to do at least a 1/2 hour a day.

Thanks for the support!

Hi:

My name is Linda and I would love to pen pal with you.

I restarted on 9/6/02 and have lost 13 lbs when I first did it. Although I have a lot more weight to lose than yourself, it would be helpful to have someone who knows the struggle

I am truly focused now and intend on getting through this for the last time.

If you are interested in pen paling with me, you can write me at LindaC6724~aol.com or we can send messages on this site.

Whatever your preference.

Hi Wendy :

Glad to hear from you. Like yourself our stats are almost similiar.

So how did you make out today? Any major hurdles that you crossed.

Today's carb intake for me is 13g, I am feeling strong and look forward to Day 9 tomorrow.

Write and let me know how you are doing, and have a great low carb day. I tried to write you at your address given , but the mail keeps being returned saying there is too many characters in your e-mail address. I put copied what you wrote and tried to write you twice, to no avail. please e-mail me directly at LindaC6724~aol.com or Linda6724~hotmail.com.

Linda
