Don't make me come over there and twist your nipple nuts.

Which, I might add, are ok for Atkins! (Trying to stay on topic here)

Say, Cleo. So GREAT to see you! When you left, I went searching other boards for you! I am glad to see you back.

{{{{{{{Shannon}}}}}}}}} Great golly almighty, GF! I was about to send out the coast guard looking for you! Did you ever find me?

Re: OK. So where did everyone go? Roll call!

No, I never found you. Good to see you back though. There are so many new people around. I just love it. They are keeping me on my toes. I am pretty bad about skipping a few days here and there (okay weeks....) but I always meander back. You were gone awhile, though!! I love your posts! Such food for thought here.

I am a second timer. Mostly lurking now-a-days since I have been stuck at the same weight for too long now. Hard to give out advice when you can't get the scale moving yourself. Anyhow, I am checking in for rollcall! Present!!!

OMG ~ Cleo-freaking-chatra!!! I am so glad to see you back here. I was wondering where you went - you are my most favorite oldbie! I was wondering where the peeps went from last fall too... i went MIA and AWOL for several months last year this time...(don't know if you even remember me) just got my stuff back together this past July and started coming back here regularly since then.

Great to see you back! I look forward to catching up and reading all of your posts... i dig your humor, girl!

Hello...I'm not sure if I'm even supposed to be posting here--I have paranoia about typing where I don't belong...like, I've only been a member for 6 weeks or whatever, do I have tenure?

ANYWAY, about modified OWL...Joy and Cleo, I'm glad you explained it! That's been my plan, and I didn't know how to explain it in words as clear as yours. Geez, all this time I thought I was a genius because I came up with this crazy idea to rotate foods from the rungs but stay at a low daily carb count.

I'll have to let you know my successes with it--right now I'm on veggies, and I've added in another serving, but usually I try to make it a non-salad veggie, like green beans (YUM!!), turnips (DOUBLE YUM!), and soon to try spaghetti squash. I'm not a fancy person with veggies--I pretty much stick to my favorites and don't get sick of them. I'm excited for the dairy rung just because I want to eat yogurt again. I don't give a rat's behind about more cheese or drinking milk (YUCK).

Thanks for giving a clear explanation of modified OWL!

Shannon-- Well it's snazzy to see you. I wondered where you were when I got back! You are one of the gang, and I'd missed seeing you around! I am so glad to see your lovely smile again!

{{{{{Dragonfly}}}}}} You are so funny! I love that! I've never been called Cleo-freaking-chatra!!! That is too hilarious! Now my font's gone all woobly. OK. Fixed it! Now I'm on a free-flow ramble. I remember you! Geez. You must think I'd forget a cutiepatootie like you! I love your picture, too! You look like you're only in your early 20's, though! Too cute!

Atkid-- Girl, I feel your pain! Still, it's so good to see you here! Even when you're having a stuck day, sometimes helping others helps us snap out of it. That's what I say, anyway. Along with, "No thank you, Val Kilmer. I don't need a foot rub." Oh. Wait. That was the dream I had the other night. Nevermind.

Hi, juli-- I have a strict and fast rule when it comes to my posts: everyone is family, so come on in! I'm not judgemental, and I like to have fun and get to know people. You're one of those people! So, please never feel like you're not welcome, because you are! Isn't modified OWL a hoot?! Get it? Bwaha?! OK. Nevermind. Yeah, it's funny how some things make so much sense, half the time we come up with them ourselves! I absolutely adore modified OWL. The problem is, it's addicting and I hate leaving it! I am a total yogurt fan, too! And with the kefir exception, I just never feel hungry, and it's pretty ding-danged low carb! I'm like you. Bring on the yogurt!!!

Re: OK. So where did everyone go? Roll call!

Cleo, Kefir makes you hungry?

I love kefir, it's the best dairy product ever, after Fage greek yogurt. YUM!

[cleochatra]

Re: OK. So where did everyone go? Roll call!

I love kefir! It doesn't make me hungry. It makes my tummy smiiiiiiiiiiiiile! Wheeeeeeeee!

[ShannonK]

Re: OK. So where did everyone go? Roll call!

Kefir? I learn something new everyday! What the heck is kefir? I want to know. QUIT with the secrets, folks!

[knicknack]

Re: OK. So where did everyone go? Roll call!

OOooooh, Kefir is this yummy yogurt drink stuff. I think it's turkish. It's in my dairy section at the grocery store. Well, it isn't with the milk, actually, and it isn't with the yogurt either. It is kind of with the orange juice, oddly. You should ask if they have it at yours!

[ShannonK]

Re: OK. So where did everyone go? Roll call!

I will definitely be checking that out. It sounds good. One of the things that I miss most is orange juice.
