Pen Pal

RJO · 05-04-2003, 06:45 PM

I'm a 32 year old guy looking to drop between 55 and 70 pounds. I'm from Victoria BC, and have been on Atkins with some good success for 3 weeks now. I'm single so I haven't anyone in the "household" to work with here.....any pals available?

Hi, RJO! Welcome to our equal opportunity board, sir.

I am also a "singular sensation." Plus side of that is no significant other or children with diametrically opposed eating plans to derail us. Negative side, no built in support network at home either. Another minus, since very few recipes say that they make "one, puny little serving," what to do with the leftovers? How many days a week can one person stand to eat lamb stew? My answer was three days; then the remainder goes in the freezer.

As male of the species, you will enjoy what I call "the man advantage" and will lose significantly more weight, faster than your female counterparts. Try not to rub that in!

I have been on Atkins for just over a year and lost 43 pounds. If you need some encouragement or advice, feel free to e-mail me at yaneusa@netscape.net You can do this!
