    Take it away people, you know the score...............

    I'll start it off.

    It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




    I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

    What about Atkins do you find the most difficult to follow? Choice of food, water intake, exercise or ??
    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!

        What's the nicest compliment you've received since you started Atkins?

        Who from your past (before Atkins) would you like to run into now so they can see how far you've come?

        Where in the world have you not visited that you'd love to see and what would you do there?

        What's your favorite meal on Atkins and would you share the recipe?

          Hey!!

          Goood morning

          Richt - the most unusual food that I've ever eaten would have to be camel meat LOL We were at a Christmas party and actually our American/scottish friends had some camel meat as a choice at the barbecue they were having! I tried a little piece of it...not really my taste! hehe

          Elizellen! I am having issues with cutting back on caffeine, that's probably my biggest problem...!


          Mary-Chan!

          What do you like most about doing Atkins?

          I love how it makes you feel energetic, and I love feeling full most of the day, not having these hunger issues constantly when you are filling your stomachs with carbs! Rather, I eat about 3 times a day with a small snack in between! Suits me fine!

          What do you think is your best feature, physical and personality wise?

          My best feature physically wise would have to be my eyes, I have had a lot of compliments on my eyes.

          My best feature personality would have to be my easy going, friendly nature, as well as my sense of humour. I find in this part of the world, a gentle smile seems to ease any communication barriers if there are any (most people here speak English whether it would be a little bit or are fluent).

          Do you have a favorite quote?

          I like that quote about "If you keep doing the same thing, you'll keep getting the same thing" something along those lines, which I believe is true. Many people may complain and complain about situations in their life which are not working for them well, and there is the ability to make changes to make them better, but sometimes they would rather not change, and in stead complain. Where there is a will there is a way to make changes.

          What is the last movie you saw at the movie theatre?

          The last movie I saw was with my husband on the weekend, called "The Weatherman" with Nicholas Cage. The morale of the story was basically that you can have as much material goods as you would like, but unless you are truly happy inside, you will never be happy. The main character (Nicholas's role) had a job as a weather man that paid him $200,000 a year, and yet he was not happy, always depressed, ....he was always looking for more money to make, and ends up taking a job in New York that pays over a million dollars a year.
          I think this message is really inspirational.

          What's the nicest compliment you've received since you started Atkins?

          I think its coming from my husband, when he can see the weight coming off! I feel great when he notices!

          Who from your past (before Atkins) would you like to run into now so they can see how far you've come?

          When we go back to Canada for a visit, it will be nice when I'm down even more pounds! Would like to surprise everyone, that the old "me" is back!


          Where in the world have you not visited that you'd love to see and what would you do there?

          I am interested in going to Iceland! I have a friend there who lives there, from university, and it just seems like such a peaceful country, with hardly any people living there, the scenery is amazing, as its a volcanic island. So if I went there I would probably visit my friend and travel around Iceland and stay int he small communities and just look around. The population is only 200,000 for the whole country, so not that many people!


          What's your favorite meal on Atkins and would you share the recipe?

          My favourite meal is Chicken wings! and I haven't actually made them yet! But I cannot get enough of them! i will share the recipe one day when I get it!

                Hi Diva,

                My questions:-

                Who would win in a fight out of:- The Incredible Hulk & X-Men's Wolverine ? And Why ?

                Who was Funnier? John Candy or Chris Farley ?

                If you could go on a romantic date with any celebrity, who would it be ?

                  2big that's a tough question. You asked a hard question! Maybe make it so that everyone understands how Atkins works and its like second nature to eat like this. Make it so that there are no obese people in the world, and Atkins is the normal way of eating for many people.

                      LC Dave!!!

                      I see you are a big kid at heart!

                      I think incredible hulk would win because he has biiiiiig muscles! and is also scary looking too which might make his opponent faint.....

                      Well I don't really know Chris Farley, and also...John candy was Canadian So I have to definitely vote for John because he was very funny and a fellow Canadian!

                      I wouldn't want a romantic date with a celebrity !lol My hubby is my celebrity and my one and only!

                          Dear Spikey,

                          I've only see it from the glass window from within the mall (Mall of the Emirates). I'm not sure it looks too appealing to go skiing on, as apparently someone found a hackblade sticking out of the snow! Imagine!

                            Oh My! I would certainly stay out of there! Someone sent me an e-mail with pictures and since you actually live there I thought I'd ask.
