First of all... thanks for the welcome, and I know what you mean about 'knowing someone' from the boards. Weird isn't it?

I tried Atkins once, and I didn't like it. I tried through in induction (two weeks or so) and ended up giving it up because it didn't seem healthy to me at the time. I lost a ton of weight in that two weeks though... like 14 lbs or something (I was over 300 at the time though). I think each diet needs to work for the person that's on it, and for many Atkins seems to work fine... just wasn't my cup of tea.

Yeah, I did a lot of pre-preparation this last week before I started, but my problem is I don't like to eat the same things every day... and sometimes I don't know what I feel like until that meal comes. I bought some broccoli in a light cheese sauce as a back up the other day, of course without reading the label, and it turned out it had corn starch in it. So then I couldn't eat it. It's actually mostly the veggies for dinner that I have trouble with... so I'm thinking of making a few veggie type casseroles this weekend and eating the leftovers throughout the week. Although I like veggies, even steamed and plain, they get boring to me after a few days.

HB eggs are the best... I made 18 last weekend, and my hubby and I snack on them through the week. I still have 6 left, so I'm good for a few days. Raw veggies with store-bought hummus works too (now there's a convenience food I could find!) The last time I did SB, I didn't do hummus because I thought I wouldn't like it with veggies... boy was I wrong!

Anyone have a veggie casserole recipe they like? I'm thinking of trying that this weekend.

Here are a few of my favorite veggie dishes...then go over to the "kitchen" and look whats there...also, we now have a recipe thread up top....demi keeps it up to date!


Mock garlic mashed aka mashed cauliflower

steamed asparagus in a balsamic vinegarette with grape tomatoes tossed in

Fajita veggies( i just had this for dinner with a salmon filet ) I sautee onions and peppers with some mushrooms thrown in , in olive loil with fresh garlic, crushed red pepper, fajita seasoning, 4 slices of lemon and some tomato paste...I cook it until all the veggies are really tender and the flavors are all blended...I love this!!

Figure out what you love and make that!!

Welcome back, Tiffy! I'm glad you've got things under control again, but remember, we're here for you even (and especially) when things go awry!

Thanks Katrina!!!! I Know. It really helps to come here.
