Found a mentor

[kpoll19]

I have just finished week 4 of induction and have lost a total of 19 pounds. I feel great except I find myself eating the same foods over and over. Well, my mom introduced me to a woman she works with who has been on Atkins for 3 years. She started at 450 pounds and is at 140!!! It is soooo amazing. She has agreed to be my mentor! I will go over her house every other week this summer and make induction friendly recipes. I already went once. We made sausage stuffed mushrooms, spaghetti squash with oil and sausage, Bacon and Swiss quiche and the best - Broccoli-Cauliflower Salad!! I would have never eaten mushrooms or cauliflower before trying these. I feel so lucky to have someone who has been through this and can give me tips and recipes and ideas.

Gives me even more reason to keep on truckin' !

Re: Found a mentor

good for you.
I hope you avail yourself of the knowledge this person has not just of food but of struggles you will encounter along the way and what not to do when the scales don't move like panic and make wholesale changes in your WOE cause it is a natural part of losing fat mass for your body to resist your efforts.
Oh and please congratulate that lady for me and invite her to join us here on ADBB. I'm sure she has a wealth of experience to share with everybody.

Happy low carbing

That's awesome about the food and the new vegetables that you're eating! Yaaay!!!

You might want to share some of the recipes in the Cooking forums too...I know lots of people would appreciate that.

That is nice of her to be your mentor. Please share the recipes and any advice we may have not heard already.
