Any Atkins Induction!

[LadyChurchill]

I usually nuke them between 40 and 60 sec. They fluff up nicely and it's just so much easier than pulling out a pan because I can eat them right out of the bowl.
I think tonight I'm going to fix pork chops and whatever else I can think of. And, yes, I am blond (tried a different color in the picture, didn't like it, went back to blond).

The Blonde Miracle Diet

An overweight blonde consulted her doctor for advice. The doctor advised that she run 10 miles a day for 30 days. This, he promised, would help her lose as much as twenty pounds.

The blonde follows the doctor's advice, and, after thirty days, she was pleased to find that she'd indeed lost twenty pounds.

She phoned the doctor and thanked him for the wonderful advice which produced such effective results. At the end of the conversation, however, she asked one last question:

"How do I get home, since I am now 300 miles away?"

Well, guess I'll go check and see what my cats are up to. They're being very scarce at the moment

I'll check back in later. Don't go away......

Diana- Movie night isn't romantic(I wish). it is family night where I get some movies and I make a bunch of snack foods and we all eat in front of the tv. It is fun I like spending the time with my son he is getting so big that soon he won't even be home on weekends.

Ahh! That's sweet!!
The grade school across the street from me is having their annual carnival. My sister is going to participate in one of the booths. Her kids go to school there too. So I'll probably mosey on down there and what's happening!

Rachel, I get them from glitter graphics webiste. You can find all kinds of things there!!!

Hi Christina!! I hope you have a great weekend too!!! I should get that thing shipped out to you on Monday!!

I didn't do so good on my eating. I had an Atkins bar for breakfast and lc ice cream for lunch. For dinner, I'm making that thin and crispy cheese pizza with some turkey pepperoni.
I hope it's good! Have you or anyone tried it?

Talk to you all soon!!!

[LadyChurchill]

Pizza made with pepperoni....hmmmm. You'll have to let me know how it works. I'll try to get on later this weekend but my hubby is home (works out of town during the week) so I'm going to spend some time with him.

If I don't get back on, have a terrific weekend everyone.

TTFN

[chucyc]

This is really interesting. I'm not sure if you guys have heard about it yet: German man suffering from incurable hunger - Telegraph

[Chrislukey]

Diana that pizza is good that's what we had for dinner last night. So easy too I tried the vegetable crusts but they never turned out quite right for me. But this was perfecto. Hope you had fun at the carnival those things are so fun for the kids. Don't fret about what about what you ate at least it was low carb

chucyc that ariticle was facinating as I was reading I thought wow he is lucky never gains a pound but then you read on and realize he is always hungry...that would be horrible.

Well, I am still weighing everyda and driving myself crazy But I did measure yesterday and I lost 1 1/2 inches off my abdomen. I always gain there last and lose there first I am a pear. I can't wait til it starts coming off the hips and thighs!

Menu

[mac24312]

Morning all my LC friends!!

Hope you all have a great weekend. I am feeling some better today. My TOM is finally setting down some and my weight is still the same. Maybe I will lose a pound or so after he leaves on Tuesday.

I will not be on alot the next few days. With hubby off this weekend and our Anniversary being on Monday we are going to spend some time with our son. We are going to Ruby Tuesdays Monday for our 11th year together. Gas being so high and our son being still young(3) it better we do that right now. I did print me out a menu so I can see all they have LC that way I wont go off plan when we eat there. I will eat my LC Chocolate Mayonnaise cake on Monday and then freeze the rest of it for later. I do deserve one treat on that day..lol

Not hungry the AM..that is good! Here is what I have planned for my menu today as of right now.

Weight 138.5
B- 2 sausage patties
L-Hamburger and cottage cheese
S-Smothered Pork Chop or Meatloaf..need to make one cause I got ground beef running out today.Salad and Brussels Sprouts.

Hi Ladies!

Glad to hear everyone is doing great! I may not be on here too much either, DH and I are going to watch the Suns/Spurs game soon. I'm going to make some lc munchies for us as we watch.

Hi Christina, have a great Anniversary weekend! I hope you and Mike have a a great time together!!!

[LadyChurchill]

Good morning everyone! Had a couple of spare minutes so thought I'd pop in and see how everyone was doing. I know a lot of you have pets so I wanted to share this with you. I'll be back later. Have a blessed day everyone.

The 10 commandants - From a Pet's Standpoint
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you will be painful for me. Remember that before you get me.

2. Give me time to understand what you want from me.

3. Place your trust in me.

4. Don't be angry with me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, entertainment and friends. I only have you.

5. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget it.

7. Please don't hit me. I can't hit back, but I can bite and scratch and I really don't want to do that.

8. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right foods or I've been out in the sun too long or my heart is getting old and weak.

9. Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old.

10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say "I can't bear to watch" or "Let it happen in my absence." Everything is easier for me if you are there.

Hi Mary!
Awww, that makes me want to cry!!! I love that!
In fact, yesterday I felt so bad for my little guy. He was trying to go poo and he just couldn't. I was outside watching him and he kept moving from one spot to another and I thought, what's going on with him! So I gave him a little mineral oil to maybe help him go, but I realized that it was half way out and that he just couldn't get out.

I didn't know what to do, so I took the water hose and hosed that area off and all the poo started to come off. I was so mad because DH gives him tons of treats that he does not need and I keep telling him that. So I threw all the crappy stuff away and now I'm heading to Petsmart to get him so good food and nutritional treats for him.

I wanted to cry for him because I did not like seeing him that way. He's okay now, and we gave him a bath, so he's nice and fresh.

What you posted made me think of all that. We love our little guy and we spoil him as if he was our child. And we need to think about his other well-being as well. We do, but even more!!

Thank you for posting that!!!

[mac24312]

HI!
Mary..I love that..When we got home yesterday evening my beagle dog had started to have her puppies..she is a outside dog and was having trouble. Mike stayed out in the rain with her for as long as he could before we got a bad storm with hail. She had 1 puppy that died because she had it outside her dog house in a hole and I believe the hail and water got to him but we have 4 that lived!! Anyone want a beagle pup? They are SO cute. I hope they make it as we have homes for 3 of them and 1 of them is mine.

It is miserable here today. Its suppose to be cloudy and rainy all week. My author is really hurting me today...I can hardly walk across the floor. This damp weather will hurt you every time with that.

I stayed on Plan yesterday and my weight is the same. I am staying on plan today so far. I just made 2 meatloaves. I regular for DH and one induction one for me. I added LC Barbecue Sauce instead of Catsup and it smells good. I have 1 head of broccoli and one of Cauliflower I want to use and dont know what to do with it. I dont want to make Cleo's crust..didn't even use the last one I fixed..I am going to make the crispy cheese one next time. Give me some ideas on what to do with a head of Cauliflower and a head of Broccoli?

Got to go for now. Catch you all later Sometime today. Post Menu later!

[pinkgirl]

hi all i started Atkins Induction on wednesday,think it is going well so far,apart from my breath,lol,just poped in to say hi,

[Chrislukey]

Hello Ladies

We had a great time at the wedding. Actually too good! I am still a little hung over It was worth it though. Danced alot and just had fun.

I know alcohol isn't supposed to be a part of induction but it never stalls me so I went for it. In fact I was down another 2 lbs. today...but I'm not claiming it because I think it will go up again the loss is probably just dehydration from drinking.

Mary thanks so must for your post. I am truly devoted to my girl. She is a rescue dog I got right after my mom passed away and I just love her so much. I can't even imagine life without her now.

Diana Hope your puppy is ok now. Hope you had fun at the game.

Christina hope you had a great anniversary weekend.

Hi to everyone else and pinkgirl good to have you here!

Menu
B-2 oopsie pancake style
L -salad with avocado and radishes and of course bacon
D -smoked sausage and green beans

Talk to you all later!

[LadyChurchill]

Hello again all you wonderful ladies.....

First, let me present my latest funny:

"A Woman's Prayer:
Dear Lord, I pray for: Wisdom, To understand a man , to Love and to forgive him , and for patience, For his moods. Because Lord, if I pray for Strength I'll just beat him to death"

I'm not sure about the rest of you but there are days.........

Right now I'm just getting ready to do some ironing so that my hubby can get packed up to leave again tomorrow morning. At least there's something decent on TV to watch while I do this. I sure miss living in Egypt. There I had all my ironing done for about $2.....

Here's another yummy recipe:

Halibut with Pine Nut and Parmesan Crust

Serves 4

Take advantage of halibut season using this recipe.

* 1/2 cup pine nuts, coarsely chopped 120 ml
* 4 Tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan cheese 60 ml
* 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh basil 15 ml
* 1 clove garlic, minced 1
* 1 Tbsp. olive oil 15 ml
* 4 6-oz. (165-g) halibut filets 4
* salt to taste

Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Combine the pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, basil, garlic and olive oil. Place the halibut filets on a baking sheet and season with salt. Pat the pine nut mixture onto the halibut, pressing lightly to make it adhere. Bake in the middle of the oven for 10-15 minutes, until the fish is opaque all the way through.

Hi Pinkgirl! Good for you on going on Aktins!!! Oh and the dreaded breath! LOL!! I don't think it's supposed to be that bad, actually, Atkins say's it's supposed to be kind of sweetish.
I hope you do well on Atkins, and see a big loss!!!
Come by anytime!!

Hi Crystalmoon! Yes if you have any questions, please feel free to come here and hang out with us. You can start with 73, it's a little different than DANDR, but the both are affective!
I hope you have much success on it as we all have!!


Hi Christina! Ahhh, for the puppy that didn't make it! I'm sorry!! I love beagles, they are so cute and adorable!! I'm glad you got homes for the others, if I lived near you, I would probably take one!
Meals sound good!! What is an author, you said it was hurting you? I hope you start feeling better soon!!

I just made caulflower and broccoli in one of those steam bags it came in and I had made some butter with minced garlic, 2 tbsp lemon juice, salt and pepper and drizzled some of that on them. I had a fish fest and made that to go with the fish I made for lunch and it was good on the veggies too!

I made some mussles with a white wine sauce and we ate that with our fish. It was so good! I'll be eating fish all week, no meat if I can help it. I'll also be making the tuna and crab muffins for the week.

Hi Chris, I'm glad you had fun at the wedding, I would have had fun too! I love going to wedding! It's been along time since I've been to one actually.
Yes, my little guy is okay, thanks!! We took him to Petsmart to go buy him so nutritious treats and some food. He knew were we went and as soon as we got home, he started doing his little dance on his hind legs because he knew he got some treats!
I told him he had to eat his food first. He ate some, but knew about them treats!! Spoiled brat!!


Hi Mary, oh I'm going to have to copy that joke and post it for some ladies I talk to who were having a men bash last week!! They'll get a kick out of that!

Your recipe sounds great too! I just had tilapia for lunch just now! I may have to try that during the week.

Ironing for 2 bucks! Wow, that's a great deal. I don't like to iron and rarely don't. Mainly because I don't have the room to set up my board. I don't mind ironing and watching tv, but no room.

Well, I'd better go, I'll try to check on you all later!!!

Love Ya Ladies!!!

[mac24312]

Authur is Arthritis...I just forgot how to spell..lol..Its just been really bad today.

Hi again all!..not many post today..everyone is so busy. Here was my menu for today:

B- 1 Sausage Cake
L-1 hamburger and cottage cheese
S-1 piece of bacon..1 sausage..1 bite of Cauliflower and Broccoli bake and 1 piece of my LC Mayonnaise cake.

Not really that much...not that hungry...Just felt like snacking today. Hope it moves scale down instead of up after TOM is over. I am wanting some more fish this upcoming week also Diana. May have to stop at Walmart and pick me up some on the way home from Ruby Tuesdays tommorow night.

The puppies are ok right now..just need to keep a check on them.

Welcome to our new members!

Later all and HUGS
