Re: 50 is the new 40! ha!
Great start!!
and welcome to our ADBB family 
How are you doing today? Is it your first Atkins experience?Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

Re: 50 is the new 40! ha!
No, I was on Atkins years ago when it was just meat and cheese. Can't handle that today! I'm planning menus and searching recipes...its been kinda fun so far...or should I say challenging? My son has come on board with me so its fun to try out the recipes on him. So far....4 lbs! Thanks for asking!Aaaahhhh.....a day at the beach!

Welcome!
Congrats on a good start. Whatever you wear on your cruise, you're going to be feeling better about yourself if you stick to the plan.
Nice that your son is on board as well. It's great motivation when you have someone to share the road with!
Happy Atkineering!Before and after:

Re: 50 is the new 40! ha!
Hi there onefifty!!
I was just looking in here and saw a post from a fellow Austinite AND a fellow 50-ite so I just wanted to say hello and wish you well on your journey. There is so much information here and a bunch of
peeps which makes learning about this WOE much easier. Hopefully you have the DANDR book which is also a wealth of information.
I love your attitude about 50 being the new 40--I DO feel 10 years younger since starting this WOE 8 months ago. I am a little over halfway to my goal but honestly, if I did not lose another pound, I would continue to eat this way because I just feel great.
I love cruising as well--next one planned is not until December of 2009
but I have gone on several and feel it is a perfect vacation. Are you taking one of the cruises from Galveston?
Good luck with the recipes--my personal faves are deep dish pizza, just like a loaded baked potato cauliflower, muffin in a minute, spaghetti squash chicken alfredo, tuna muffins and bacon lettuce and tomato dip. Also eat a lot of boring stuff
like salads, broccoli, chicken, eggs, etc. The beauty of this WOE is the longer you do it the less you miss the bad stuff.
Good luck to you and keep us posted on your progress!!

Re: 50 is the new 40! ha!
Onefifty...
I started Atkins again the same day as you!
I am 50 years old and grew up in Dallas and in
my younger days would go to Austin to "party"!
I love Texas but now live in Tennessee with
my hubbie and 2 teenage sons. I go back often
to see family though.
I have about 20 pounds to loose so not too bad but my
weight loss started going so slow when I turned 50. I
will be 51 in October and want to get my 20 pounds off
before my birthday!
Maybe we can keep in touch thru this...
How old is your son?Pie4me
Stay under 150 pounds
Don't worry & be happy!Comment

Re: 50 is the new 40! ha!
Hey...let's be support buddies...even though you have 20 lbs to lose and I have 64 lbs to lose...its hard either way!
So, how does Tennesee compare to Texas?Aaaahhhh.....a day at the beach!
