    Me in Shorts

    Just been brave enough to publish a picture of me in shorts and only shorts - even if they are long shorts!
    Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
    he said, 'Don't count calories.'

        Looking great! It was a long long time before I would go out in public in shorts. It was a big milestone for me. I didn't care if it was 90 out...I'd be wearing jeans. Now I wear shorts constantly...you can even see a little leg in my sig...something absolutely unheard of before.

        Great job!!!!

                      Looking Good!!
                      Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                      Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
