Any Atkins Induction!

[mac24312]

Well...let me think...ok...Ate alot of eggs and pork...hamburger...SALADS...basic what I am doing now..but no fish or seafood back then...I did walk 1 hour a day 5 days a week thou...for snack I would eat Pork Rinds and Pepperoni..very seldom I would take and eat any sweet or any bread (didn't know about Rev Rolls or LCF back then) was not eating alot of cheese or cream cheese...just basically filling up on fat and proteins, and Green Vegetables.

Good girl for getting rid of the Bubble gum!! I have never cared for that or Suckers,mints or anything like that..Sweet and junk was my downfall when I was larger...I think SA is having a hard time with me now...that is the reason I am TRYING To stay away from them..I still have about a full LC Chocolate Cake in my old refrigerator downstairs.

Taking about houses..I live in a 90 year old farmhouse with 8 acres of land

Later and HUGS

[Determinedtolose]

[COLOR="SeaGreen"]Oh your house sounds heavenly!!!! I want one!

How is that area during the winter time? What do you have in your acres?

Okay, then that's what I'm going to do! I'm going to eat more protein, fat and salads and keep exercising!

Thank you!!! That helps alot!!! Did you ever cheat? haha![/COLOR]

[mac24312]

Me...Cheat..OH NO!! LOLBut of course!! I did usually 1 to 3 times a month..mostly on a Sat or Sun...and it was high carb one..like refeeding they call it..Hope I am right about that..lol It didn't stall my loss either..Oh..I did stay around 20 to 30 carbs a day also...

OK..I was just reading on Stillmans post..when is your Birthday in December..mine is in Dec too!!

Where I live in VA Diana..we have not had hardly any snow in 2 years...we are in a drought now...I have mountains all around us...we rent our acres out to our Nebor and have for years to put cattle on...It wonderful but very bumpy and really hard to mow..it takes Mike about 4 to 5 hours to mow and trim up...Its so pretty here year round...

Oh..I just thought..I didn't use any Carbquick or anything like that..did even know about Netrtion then..get my drift..lol

Hope it works for you and know I am here if you need me!

HUGS

Evening ladies!!!

I had some fish, steamed spinach with a bit of butter and vinegar and leftover spaghetti squash. When I finished I vacuumed and threw a load of laundry in. I figure if I get a head start I won't have so much to do when hubby comes home

The gas here was up to $3.54. I'm getting to the point where I'm not even using my car unless where I have to go is further than 3 miles. Otherwise I'm within walking distance to all kinds of shopping. Maybe I'll get a motorbike instead....I can just see it....motorcycle grandma

For all of us married ladies:

[COLOR="Blue"]When I was married 25 years, I took a look at my wife one day and said,

"Honey, 25 years ago, we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10 inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25 year old blonde.

Now, we have a nice house, nice car, big bed and plasma screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 50 year old woman.

It seems to me that you are not holding up your side of things."

My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 25 year old blonde, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed.

Aren't older women great! They really know how to solve your mid-life crises...

[/COLOR]

Have a great evening g/f's and I'll see you tomorrow (or later this evening). Who knows

[jen_1971]

Good evening ladies!

oh work sure can make one take up drinking.. heavily!! but alas I refrain! too many calories! but i may splurge on ONE this weekend!! remains to be seen yet!

ok about the cream egg recipes, unless i missed it, are you beating the eggs or just putting it all together??? i guess i don't understand that part! sorry! i don't want choke down a whole yolk when i don't have to! haha that butter cream from Low Carb Runner sounds really tastey and may satisfy my sweet tooth!

one more stupid question (my limit for the day!) what is Stillmans? never heard of that one. is it similar to atkins? what the difference that Determined would have better luck w/atkins than that one? couriousity! if you feel like sharing!

I am thrilled on the 7 lbs.. still seem skeptical too!! like my scale it STILL lying to me but only in reverse now! i started at 250 so i'm down to 243. i feel good and actually like i have a bit of energy lately. dieting never made me feel this way before. but i've never tried atkins, i'm a virgin.. be gentle with me!

gas here is at$3.59 for regular and that is at walmart, shell is about $3.64 .. getting too rich for my blood. lucky i work close to home (15 min drive) but hubby has a 50 mile drive - that is eating our pocketbook on gas

i need to go start dinner - my family is having empanadas but i may stick to a chef salad w/ckn chunks in it or a hmbgr. i need to get some cream cheese so i can try the oopsies and have "bread" for sandwiches!

have good evening all!

Gas Prices - MSN Autos

Hey guys, go to the above link and put in your zip and it will tell you the cheapest gas prices in your area. I was just looking on it and then checked in here and saw you guys were talking about gas. Hope it helps. I have to combine all my errands these days, gas is just too pricey. The cheapest out here is 3.56.

Thanks for all the get well wishes. I feel pretty good now I still have a headache but I think I may be able to go work out tomorrow morning.

Diana- I think all the curves are about the same price I pay $34 a month and I didn't pay a start up fee because I joined during a promo. They have them all the time. I had to pick a place to go because I just cannot get motivated at home to exercise but if I know I am paying then I have to get there at least 3 times a week.Plus, if you don't show up at curves they will call and see whats up. They are very motivating. At least the trainers at my club are.

Jen- Stillman's is another diet but it restricts fats and carbs so in theory you can lose faster. I never did it. I don't think I could.
With the egg creme you put everything in a blender to mix it up it gets all creamy and frothy. Good stuff!

Christina-yeah I couldn't go to the Dr yesterday or today (DH is out of town) I felt too dizzy. But I doo feel better now I took some decongestant and I am hoping I'll be ok to drive tomorrow. So, maybe not an infection if I get over it on my own. We'll see. Thanks for your concern
See you all tomorrow. Have to go wait for a call from DH

[Chrislukey]

Oh Diana forgot to tell you I tried the muffins. MMMMM! thanks!

[Determinedtolose]

[COLOR="Purple"]Hi Christina! Okay, I'm going to follow that way of eating. It can't hurt and I did lost the same way!
My birthday is 12/30/61

Hi Mary, thanks! You reminded me that I have to do some laundry too!
Hey, you'd look good on bike, or a scooter!
I think if you can walk to the store, then why not! I wish I could.

Gas here is up to 3.40! It's crazy!!

Hi Chris, Oh I'm glad you liked the muffins! They are good. They're great in a pinch and to have on hand.
Ahhh! Waiting for DH to call you, how cute!!!
Good to know about Curves! Thanks!!

Hi Jen, yes, Stillmans is no fat or low fat. I was eating lean meats, fish, poultry, eggs and cottage cheese. I did lose 5 lbs I gained and now I'm trying to get to onederland but I haven't been able too on Stillmans. So I'm back on Atkins.
I need the fat! Teehee!!

Hi Rachel, where are you!!! I hope you're doing good!

Hi Rena! Hi Loretta, Hi LowCarbRunner, how are you Ladies doing? I hope all is well!!!

I hope we all have some good losses this week!!!!

Love Ya's!!! [/COLOR]

[lorettahd]

Good morning Ladies,

Happy Friday to all No losses to report but I'm going to keep on keeping on. Christina congratulations on your 2 pound loss, I am soooo jealous. But I am going to follow the advice you gave Diana about the fat and proteins.

Happy Fat Burnin' Friday Friends!

I am a December baby too...Feast of St. Nicolas, Dec. 6.

Good Morning lovely ladies!
I am feeling left out my birthday is in November




Hey Christina Good for you!! You are doing great!

Well, I didn't work out this morning just not feeling up to it. But I did take my son to school then I went to the grocery store. I had to go back in because I realized my bill was kind of high then I looked at the receipt and she charged me for 61 cucumbers instead of one. I got a $40 refund. So glad I checked.


Oh yeah and on the way to school a little kid ran right out in front of me scared me to death I am still a little shaky from it. So glad I was able to stop in time.

Well, I am at 136.6 as of this morning yipee the scale is moving in the right direction.

Diana I made that muffin recipe with breakfast sausage this morning but left out the onions cellery and green pepper and added cinnamon and nutmeg. Topped it with SF syrup yummy breakfast.

Menu
B yummy sausage muffins
L leftover tuna muffins with salad
D turkey burgers with bacon and feta and brocolli

Have a great day!!!

[LadyChurchill]

Ok, here it is Friday and checking in to see how you wonderful ladies are doing and listening to my iTunes....woohoo.

Chrislukey - You're not alone , my birthday is in November and so is my husband's. It's a good month

Since my hubby will be home tonight I'll be making something for him other than low carb. He really doesn't mind the low carb meals I make but he can't afford to lose any weight. (). Wish I knew what his secret was. Not sure what I'll be fixing yet but I'll probably fix one of his favorites (garlic mashed potatoes) to go with whatever meat I make. I'll have the faux stuff.

Here's my joke of the day (or hour)...lol:

[COLOR="Blue"]Marriage Seminar

While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication, Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor, "It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other." He addressed the man, "Can you describe your wife's favorite flower?" Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, "It's Pillsbury, isn't it, honey?"

The rest of the story gets rather ugly so I'll stop right here. [/COLOR]

I'll check back later. Have a blessed day!

Mary

[Chrislukey]

Thanks Mary good to know I am not alone!

[Determinedtolose]

[COLOR="Purple"]Good Morning Lovely Ladies!!!

Nothing like doing nothing but spending time at home! I love it!!

Hi Chris, nice tweak on the muffin! That sounds like something I would eat too! I will def try that! Good to have for on the go, isnt it!!

Hi Mary! Garlic mashed potatoes! That sounds good! My hubby likes that too. How nice to have your husband back home! I hope you two have a nice weekend!

Hi Jaimie! Have a great day!! I hope this week has been a productive one. . I'm sure it has!
Talk to you soon!!

Here's my menu:

B- Stillmans, sweet and sour chicken, leftover
L- Pork rinds
D- tilapia, veggie
Water, coffee
40 minutes of Pilates

Talk to you all soon!![/COLOR]

[dixediva1]

Good Afternoon LC Friend's,

SS, about yesterday. I felt out of sorts all day. Today I feel wonderful.

I think I mighta had heart trouble along with dropsy's.. DON'T get worried..
Everything I dropped I didn't have the heart to pick it up..lol

Great Post form all.

I am thinking of trying the egg cream. it still makes me a lil unnervy about the raw egg. I'm sure I've had worse things. like the time a lady fixed cow tongue ,and we thought it was roast.acccckkkk.. It did taste like beef roast, it was just the thought of it. slurppppppp..eeeeewwwww

I to, am a December baby th 28th. I understand no gifts. my mom never made a big deal of my birthday.
When I got married my DH said that was my day.. Bless his heart he has made my day special ever since..He is such a keeper.

Our 2 sons were born in Nov. our DD in May. DH in Aug..couldn't leave him out.lol

I don't live in a big house . It is just the right size for us. I do live 780 ft off the main road way back in the woods.. I love it back here. I have coffee ( weather permitting ) every morning in my gown. ( I know, sounds like a hussy don't it ).. HEY, no one can see me.
Yep, I swim nekked at night to.. NO kids now so I'm free to what evah..I know, I know TMI...

My SIL n BIL live at up on the main road..I'm so glad my SIL wanted the front part. Now she hates it after seeing all the privacy we have. 20 yrs. ago there was only 6 other house on the main road now there is hardly a scrap of land..yeaaa buying 20 yrs. ago was the best thing we ever did.

Christiana, I'm so glad my homemade remedy for author is working. it is also good for bug bites , bee stings. would make a good antiseptic to.

Diana, I made the crackers w/lavash bread . turned out great. crispy n sweet. I didn't like the cheese ones as good as the cinnamon ones.

Thanks to all for the great post. remember I have no memory w/names.

How did I miss the sausage muffin. would someone please post the recipe .

my menu :

B-2 eggs, 1 homemade turkey sausage, 1/4 serving lavash bread w/sf jam, coffee

L- egg salad on 1/4 lavash bread, serving pork rinds, d-pepsi.

D- LC fried chicken breast , salad, tea

If I need a snack I made LC cinnamon crackers using 1/2 sheet lavash bread. I rarely snack.

I love to cook so, I'm experimenting all the time. I love turkey sausage the low fat ones are nasty 2 me . the full fat is more fat than meat . Sooooo I put my thinking cap on..Trust me it's a small cap.

Here is my recipe for homemade turkey sausage.

1 pack of ground turkey, lots of ground sage maybe a tablespoonful, little salt n pepper. I'm a true Southern cook . I do the pinch of this n that method.

you could add ground fennel , I don't care for it.

I get 8 patties from a package of ground turkey. I also fry them all then freeze ,and take out as needed.

I'll ck back later.

Rachel

[LadyChurchill]

I know all of you are going to do just great this weekend. If everything goes right I plan on dropping a couple of pounds () provided that I stick to the low carb. If I have to make more brownies for my hubby I could be in trouble. One lick leads to another and then another........ chocolate is definitely my weakness especially the dark chocolate.

I have a feeling that our boat is going to sit another summer without going out. With the gas prices the way they are we may not get to use her for a couple more years. Very sad.....

Well, I hope you all have a fantastic, healthy, carb free weekend. I'll try and jump in at some point but, if not, I'll be checking in bright and early Monday morning.



[COLOR="Blue"]Bridge to Hawaii

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. All of a sudden he said out loud, "Lord grant me one wish."

At once the sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice the Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish"

The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii, so I can drive over anytime I want to."

The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the logistics of that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify me."

The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, my wife says that I am uncaring and insensitive. I wish that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside, what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say "nothing", and how I can make a woman truly happy."

After a few minutes God said, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Blue"]Hi Rachel!

Wow, I love how you live!! I want to go swimming nekkie too! LOL!! I also want to live where no one is around too! I'm tired of being surrounded by people. I want to go to them and then afterwards go home to quietness! haha!

I should make my own sausage, because the kind at the store have sugar in them. I did buy some today too to make that sausage muffin.

[Determinedtolose]

[COLOR="Purple"]Hi Mary!

Oh I hope we all do good! I have been exercising hoping to get my metab going. Don't eat the brownies! LOL!!

I have to make my nephew a bday cake for tomorrow, I hope I don't cave in. But there is a recipe I'll be making tomorrow. It's a chocolate meringue cookie. I'll post it in case anyone wants it.

Add cocoa and fold into egg white mixture.

YOU may also add 1/2 cup of you favorite mini choco chips but I AM NOT that free just yet.

Drop by heaping teaspons onto cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.
Bake 25 mins. remove, let cool and enjoy!

[dixediva1]

Mary, did you see the show " I can make you thin " Paul was the mans name. He said when you are tempted by a food like brownies,fudge , or any food that is a trigger. Look at it and picture worms crawling all over it. keep look in your minds eye till it pases.

[COLOR="Blue"]Hi Trish!
Oh I know, this could get expensive, but I buy lots of ground beef and tilapia fish.
Have you tried the recipes for LindaSue's website? She has some good easy recipes and very economical too.[/COLOR]

[mac24312]

Hi again all!
Diana...you are going to make them LC chocolate meringue cookies and I am going to crave them!! I am NOT going to fix anything sweet till the next TOM time..I still have over 3/4 of the LC mayonnaise cake in the fridge not ate!Still good thou...it a 40 year old fridge downstairs that keeps stuff ice cold. I am just really trying to break this stall and its so far working with what I am doing.

I walked 45 min today...uphill again..we will see what happens. Rachel pain relief is working so far..it very inexpesive and its working only after 3 days!

Yes Trish..i am afraid so..LCing is very expenisive. I am lucky to get out of the grocery store less that 150 dollars a week!! That is my DH, 3 year old son and I... But..not just LC..everything is SO expensive..our gas went up again this afternoon...dont know what people are going to do!

Mary..I live about 20 min from our local lake..last year there was NO boats on the Lake..and I bet none this year either due to gas prices...

Here was my menu today..it did change

B- LC chicken Salad
L-Hamburger with 1 TBS LC barbecue sauce and Farmers Cheese
S- Boiled Shrimp with a 1/4 cup salad with my own mixture of 2 TBS of Mayo..1 TBS LC Catsup.. couple dashes of hot sauce and a couple of cajan pepper...kind of a LC Thousand Island dressing...mixed and poured over the shrimp.
45 min power walk

Later all! I am heading outside to let me son play while its pretty!

[Chrislukey]

Hi Ladies

Rachel I would love that kind of privacy we are in a subdivision so we have neighbors in our back yard But we moved here so our DS could grow up with some other kids his age. he is an only child so we thought he needed some friends. it has worked out very well for him. Maybe once he goes to college we will find a nice little house in the woods somewhere.
About the muffins ...I took Diana's seafood muffin recipe and used breakfast sausage in place of the tuna left out the veggies and added cinnamon and nutmeg and a little cream. Baked them then topped with SF maple syrup. They were yummy


Trish-Yep low carb is expensive because you are not buying any cheap filler food like pasta and chips. It is all fresh meats and veggies. It is totally worth it though. We have been eating this way for 9 years now. Couldn't go back now even if I wanted too. I buy meat when it is on sale and freeze for future use. Especially bacon we eat alot so when I can get buy 1 get 1 I stock up.

[Chrislukey]

2 8oz. pks. philadelphia cream cheese
1/2 cup sweetener (I use spenda)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla

This is the original cream cheese muffin recipe. There is a whole thread on it in the recipe help and suggestions forum with all kinds of variations.

[trishdadish]

Thanks guys!
Yes Determinetoloose ,
I got all my induction recipies from her site and they look wonderful and not to pricey
Chris lukey, Thanks its good to see that you have done this as a life changing way of life! I just hope I can get thru the 2 weeks lol I know this also sounds band but I like to drink alcohol and I know its not allowed in the first 2 weeks but afterwards is there any really really low carb drinks out there besides beer?

I hope Vons has alot of 2 for 1s today of thie things I want to get!

[Chrislukey]

Trish when I was in maintainence I drank whenever I wanted too. Some people have trouble with wine...not me I drink one or 2 every weekend even now. Also all hard liquor has no carbs the problem is what you mix with it. Let me stress again some people do have problems with the alcohol stalling or gaining. I luckily don't

[trishdadish]

sweeeet! I like me a small glass of jack daniels on the rocks! I mean small and 1 or at the most 2 once a weekend so thats good to know about the no carbs! woot!

[trishdadish]

Thanks Chris!
