Re: TGIF Roll Call
Good morning Ryan, Ipedregon, and all CCers to come!
I'm making deviled eggs for Easter... I'll probably eat them myself before I leave to visit my parents. They live almost 10 hours away (if I drive quickly
) and I'm not sure how long my cooler will last.
That was random... anyway, have a great day everyone!

Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it is yours."

Re: TGIF Roll Call
Deviled eggs are great for Easter. I am going to make Resurrection rolls with my kids. You put a marshmallow inside and it melts during baking, leaving the roll empty- like Jesus' tomb. They will smell and taste awesome, but I am not going to partake!! I am determined to get through my first major holiday being on Atkins without cheating!!!12 Years of Baby Fat

Re: TGIF Roll Call
Hi everyone, have a good low carb Easter.
We have just eaten my first attempt at a Hot Cross Bun replacement - with ground almonds, flaxmeal, cream cheese, egg, splenda and spices, topped with butter and another sprinkle of splenda/spices - yummy, although nothing like a hot cross bun really - more a hot cross rock cake 'crossed' with a muffin in a minute! Still they were very tasty, healthier, and the thought of having them meant we could more easily resisit the Hot Cross buns on offer at the cafe where we stopped for a coffee - yes - just a coffee!
That is a lovely idea - I love it when kids get involved in the kitchen - and this is fun and gets them thinking.Originally posted by 12YearsofBabyFat View Post
The weather here is glorious. Anyway, waffling on. Have a lovely start to the weekend, all.

Re: TGIF Roll Call
Good morning CC'ers
I am happy to report a 4 lb loss this week which means.....I AM NO LONGER IN THE 300's!!!!
I am so excited. I am however .3 lbs away from my first goal. I am ok with that because thats not even 1/2 lb so I will be there anyday for sure! My foot is feeling a bit better this morning. My boss giving me these 2 days off will help tonz. I go back tomorrow and then originally have sunday and monday off. No Easter plans here at my house. We haven't really done anything for it in years. But I think we will make some of those deviled eggs. All this talk about them has got me craving them
Hope everyone has a great holiday weekendTutti

Re: TGIF Roll Call
Well, it was spring break for the kids. I've been eating off Atkins for almost a week. I was trying to quit smoking. I gained 10 pounds, more some days. I broke down and spent $3.56 on a package of roll your own tobacco to have while I try to get back on track with the diet. A can of tobacco would have cost me $28+ dollars. I am going to quit smoking. I refuse to buy it at this price again. Right now I feel pretty crappy. I felt good about my weight loss, but I now know at least 7 pounds of my loss is just water weight that will return if I eat a carb. That makes what I lost recently not feel real. For a week or two, I'll be taking the water off and maybe I'll find out what the real damage was. I can't afford tobacco, not smoking makes me want to eat. Soon I'll be not smoking and not eating much either. Its a good thing there is plenty of stuff to clean around here. My old hard drive is still in the shop. I bought a new one. When I get my old one back, I plan to sort files and do projects with the data to keep busy. I feel all icky, but I'm back!
My starting weight was 235 lbs and I'm trying to get to 130 lbs.
1st mini goal: 145! met 12/09
2nd mini goal: 140!
3rd mini goal:135!
4th mini goal: 130!
I drink coffee. I drink when I am thirsty. I am just a low carber. Not on Atkins at all!!! He has everything to do with my weightloss and nothing to do with it, depending on who you ask.Comment

Re: TGIF Roll Call
WB Rita!! The icky will go away, as you know. Smoking is very hard to quit, and I commend your efforts and wish you the very best in your journey. Gum gum gum!!! It helps! I am only 32, but smoked for ten years and quit. I gained 40 pounds, but that was before the Akins WOE and I ate every carb in sight. You will feel so much better in a few days, and I think you will see more results then water weight in a week! Stick with us!Comment

Re: TGIF Roll Call
Thanks! Some of the bloat is going away, slowly but surely. I know its vain but I wanted to update my ticker before tomorrow morning.
