    Hi guys! I haven't been here in forever, but I do see some familiar faces. It has been over a year since I tried Atkins. I moved to The Netherlands at that time and I decided to get off Atkins for awhile. It had a lot to do with the different language and having difficulty finding familiar products. Also, a bit to do with the bakery downstairs and the pub on the corner. (sigh)

    It also has a lot to do with an aversion to meat. I was a vegetarian for a few years and doing Atkins previously was hard for me. Some things I had no trouble with. For example, hamburger was a staple for me.

    Does anyone have success doing Atkins, but not eating a lot of meat?

    I have been doing weight watchers for almost a year. (sigh - again) I have not gained (miracles!) but of course, I have not lost either.

    I will say this about Atkins. I lost thirty pounds with it about four years ago. Boy, did that feel good.

    I guess right now, I am just loitering back around and trying to weigh (ha) my options....
    149.8/no weigh/ 119



    1st goal: 139 (earlier weight)
    what the rungs mean to me:
    rung 1 - more veggies
    rung 2 - dairy (some milk in coffee)
    rung 3 - seeds, nuts (mostly sprinkled on salads)
    rung 4 - berries, melon
    rung 5 - wine -
    rung 6 - beans, hummus
    rung 7 - other fruits
    rung 8 - carrots/ potatoes (nah, prolly not)
    rung 9 - whole grains (fresh Dutch breads...)
    Major Goal - 128 lbs/ healthy range
    (on to pre-maintenance)

      Tofu is awesome. Thanks for the reminder. It is hard to think low carb after thinking WW for so long. I miss that feeling, though. You know the one? That high energy, in ketosis, feeling?!
