Anyone in Illinois?

illinois_girl · 02-21-2004, 02:01 PM

I'm looking for a low-carb pal in Illinois.

I'm 29 and married. We don't have kids, but hope to soon.

Anyone want to be my low-carb buddy?

Hello-
Yes I am from Illinois, Springfield, Illinois matter of fact. Where are you located?

illinois_girl · 02-21-2004, 08:03 PM

Rockford---so way up north!

I see, was you looking for someone closer to you to be a penpan?
If not I am willing.

I am in Grayslake, near Gurnee. I would love penpals. I am not new to Atkins. I have tried the diet many times with little success.

My address is martinkus@aol.com

No, not specifically looking for someone close---shall we communicate through here or email?

For the others, I'll send an email very soon!

Well email seems to have been working better than posting messages for me so far. I am new to the board but think this is a wonderful way to reach out for support, after all we are all posting for the same reason...losing weight. My email is
d-l.suhre@insightbb.com & hope to hear from you soon.

LOVEBUG1 · 03-02-2004, 06:51 PM

Is it normal to feel so bloated? Been low carbing for 2 weeks.
I feel fatter now then ever.

debbies · 03-02-2004, 07:08 PM

Well sometimes I do feel bloated & when I do I also have discovered that I have eaten alot more fiber than a usual day which also results into more gas in my stomach & my stomach just rolls all the time, which is not fun either! How many fluids are you drinking in a day? The more fiber you eat the more fluids you need to drink. Hope this helps & this has been my experience not sure how everyone else has felt.
Keep up the good work, it is sooo worth it!

LOVEBUG1 · 03-02-2004, 07:14 PM

I drink about 4 liters of water a day and a 32 oz tea at work in 12 hours. As far as fiber I don't consume any extra and can't think of anything I added. Before I stated low carb I didn't eat much fat and now I eat alot more by about 4 times more. I always ate very low fat. Never ate cheese and very little red meat.
Thanks for the help.
