[Laurenfra]

Who lives in your home with you?
Do you have any pets and tell us about them?

[brabea22]

Ok here goes round two

1. What is one of your weirdest quirks?

2. WHEN you reach your goal, what is the first thing you are going to do? (besides cry and post it on ADBB)

3. What is one fun fact about maribelle that we might not know from spending this wonderful time with you?

4. Is there one particular person who stands out to you personally in this sea of support we call ADBB? If so, can you name names?

5. What is one food that you could not stomach even if held at gunpoint?

[maribelle]

LAURENFR: 1. My husband and my son live with me. We're hoping for more, that's why I started this diet.
2. I have a kitty cat. We've only had her for a month. We originally named her Tom...then realized that wouldn't suit when certain things weren't where they were supposed to be. Now she's Tinkerbell, or just Tink. She is SUPER playful, and I've awaken several times now to her attacking my hair, my feet, or any part of me careless enough to move during my sleep

BRABEA22: 1. Wierdest quirks??? I guess that I laugh out loud at the comics on Sunday morning, so it looks like I'm nuts.
2. Jump for joy and go reserve a weekend at a private luxurious hotel with a jacuzzi and room service for me and honey poo...I've been dying to do that for years!
3. Ok, this one I have to think about and get back to you
4. Oh wow, all the Century Clubbers who are here for us every day...Papa, Dawn, Friendly, Diva, ALL OF YOU, even if I can't mention
your names right off the bat. But some others would be Mystique, Moonwish, Loonatika, Carolyn, and all my friends from Journal Section.
And Bowulf...I'm sorry, but how can anyone not look at those pictures and make it another day???
5. grasshoppers, worms, and any one of those really DISGUSTING things they eat on FearFactor! Thats just WRONG...hmm, wonder how many carbs those little buggers have!

[maribelle]

Ok, BRABEA22...The one fun fact isssssssss....I'm living in the only state in the US where I never wanted to live. Sorry Kansas, but its true! Ok, how's that? Not very fun? I really was stumped on what to reply to that one.

ok, bye for now.

[Kent]

Which exercise is the most irritating to do? Which exercise do you love to do most? (keep it clean ;-) )

[maribelle]

AWWWWW man, you're no fun! Good exercise: well, it would be horseback riding if I wasn't afraid to sway back the horse all to heck, but in the real world, its walking. I haven't gotten into it this round yet. I think I will tomorrow--a nice long one if I'm not too dead from my 2 hours of volleyball today.
Most awful exercise: getting out of bed in the morning!

Thanks for all the good questions everyone!

Hi maribelle!

What made you try Atkins?

What is your favorite food?

[maribelle]

Hi Cleo!!!!

Initially what made me try Atkins was my dad losing 50 pounds on it. I had been talked into trying Shaklee I Love Dieting, but with my hypoglecimia, it caused me to have major sugarlows, not to mention it was EXPENSIVE!!! Dad gave me the DANDR and it made alot of sense. Also a Polycystic Ovarian Disease website I was frequenting made lots of references to the positive effects of a low carb diet on this illness. Still it took me about 3 years to really settle into the Atkins lifestyle enough to have real success with it. Actually it wasn't till I stumbled across this website that I had the necessary tools to be strong.

Well, about 1 year ago, I would of said Pizza and Ice Cream...now it is probably Chicken with that flax seed gravy I mentioned above. Now Pizza just makes me sick , and isn't worth the taste! I do like some of the Atkins ice cream treats, namely the white chocolate almond bars from Blue Bunny made with Splenda, but I'm in induction again, so it will be awhile before I'll be eating those.
