  • New here...............Again :-)

    Hi Guys,
    I logged on here yesterday and was so happy to see the second time around club. You guys think of everything I was a regular poster/viewer a couple of years ago. I lost 50 pounds in about 6 months and then life changes happen. I know it's not a good thing to make excuses but I'm going to anyway cause I don't know what else to call it I won't bore you with the details but my husband hurt his back at work. Lying in bed all day with only the tv and a bag of chips.....well, you get the picture. About the same time I got a new job that was real confining. So in 2 years we gained back all the weight. Anyway, I refuse to look back. We are ready to go again. That's all that matters. I started on Sunday and already lost a pound. Anyway, I'm so happy to be here and look forward to getting to know everyone again. Guess what? I have a problem already My teeth are not in as good a shape as they were 2 years ago. I'm finding I'm having a hard time eating salad vegies. Even lettuce is getting hard to eat. Any one have any sagestions? Even though I don't eat very many "salads" I loved to eat romaine lettuce with tuna fish and celery in my scrambled eggs, things like that. I'd love any advice on this.
    Thanks so much my new friends,

    Susan

    Hey there YMA, welcome to STAC, glad you are here....We are all in the "process" of learning our lessons and trying it again, many of us have done Atkins more than a couple of times and I think the good thing is we realize it works, and it works great for my body! I love it...Been at it for almost 11 months now, and feel great.
    It's a lifestyle and an adventure...
    Welcome.

          homemade chicken broth with celeri and other allowed vegies for the induction phase. You can use the boiled chicken shredded in your broth and get all the taste and the nutrition from the vegies too!

            Hi, Thanks everyone for the welcome. I'll try to contribute when I can. I did learn quite a bit the first time around.Speedyturtle: I do love cooked vegies but I was afraid I wouldn.t be getting all the nutrients if I didn't have at least some raw vegies. guek, Same with the soup. But that is a good idea. I may be trying that. Thamks guys. I feel better now.
            End of the third day and I wanted a bowl of ice cream sooooo bad. I made a couple of devilled eggs instead. Almost time for bed and all is well

                    Welcome!! Funny, I had the same ice cream craving hit me on day three too. And I don't even eat ice cream that often. Glad to hear you push past it. YAY!
