Re: Roll Call Monday Feb 2nd

I guess I'm back. Its been a long time. I started at 235 in June of 07, lost 10lbs on Cabbage soup, then started Atkins and lost 50lbs, more actually but I gained 10lbs back during the holidays so I'm at 175 now. I should get a ticker! The forums have changed a bit and don't see some of the people I use to. My sister moved in with me 12-07 and she won't diet so I've had trouble staying on the diet. Its pretty easy to stay out of the kids food, not so easy to watch my sister load up on chinese.

Happy Groundhogs Day! Did he see his shadow over there on the East Coast? Update- He did see his shadow, which means 6 more weeks of winter.......

Wishing all of you a fantastic low carb monday!

Thanks! I am bookmarking the boards and will live here if I have to to stay on track. I stayed on track so much better when I answered rolecalls. I love my little ticker. I even dug up a photo to make coming back more offical. lol

Good afternoon, CCers! Welcome back, Rita !

This past Thursday I was officially on the "legume" rung, but haven't had any beans until today. Right now I'm eating Chicken Taco soup for lunch. It's a pre-Atkins recipe of mine. There are chili beans in it and I substituted soy beans for the black beans and omitted the corn. Hopefully I keep right on truckin' with my weight loss. It's nice to add in foods from different rungs to increase the variety of food.

Enjoy the day !

Re: Roll Call Monday Feb 2nd

Yes...I think food variety is key in Atkins..
Some good news to be from me.. My new trousers finally started to get loose, i.e., ont the way to fall off..yet a long way to go till I get a smaller pair..but... yeah!!

Welcoem back Rita

Sherri, the ground hog thing is a trick. yeah, he saw his shadow so there's 6 more long weeks of winter, but if he hadn't seen it, it would only be 6 weeks until Spring!

That certainly makes sence Chick. Also I discovered today that there is two groundhogs on the east coast. One saw his shadow, one didn't. Now after what you said, doesn't really matter, LOL Where's that Groundhog Hehe
