Hi ladies... Glad to meet ya. I'm 44, married, no kids (but I DO like them ) and I own/operate a bookstore in North Florida. I've been fighting my weight all my life and have intended to start a new way of eating for about a year now. April 1st I couldn't stand it any longer and started low carb for the first time. I absolutely love it. I love to cook but was really getting bored with the same ole things my husband and I were eating. The new WOE has allowed me to broaden my horizons in the kitchen. I've found I eat a lot more veggies than I used to. Prior to April I ate meat and processed carbs. Now I'm eating meat and limited high fiber carbs and veggies. The no sugar thing was a shock to my system but after the first two weeks I looked back and was aghast at the amount of sugar I was taking in.

Glad you enjoyed the menu....todays was-
B -coffee w/ cocoa and whipped cream and a scrambled egg (fresh from our hens)
L/D- Sunday, we eat lunch/dinner at 4:00 - beef enchiladas made with whole wheat low carb tortillas...didn't have any hamburger meat so I ended up cooking a chuck steak and shredding it....turned out really good.

Evening snack - gonna split a leftover enchilada with my husband and then make koolaide w/ splenda snow cones in the blender.

Gonna try not to get into the carb smart ice cream bars tonight....*crossing my fingers*
