Re: Pics...finally!
Gee thanks pals! Now I'm blushin for real!
Barbde... your SIL has a point! It's not impossible to low carb here, but it is very hard with all the pasta/pane/pizza temptations! Boy do they know about delicious eating here! At least I've had thirty odd years to indulge (and get fat)...so for me it's a case of "a change is as good as a rest"... or so I tell myself when I waver!! The other difficulty is that there is absolutely nothing in the way of low carb products. On the upside though, the fruit and veggies here are fantastic. Really tasty!

I agree with Soliwit - you have definitely found the fountain of youth like many other successful Atkineers.Originally posted by soliwit
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!

Re: Pics...finally!
A heartfelt "thanks again" everyone: Moderators, Administrators and Losers all! I never could have reached goal without you! This board has been a constant fountain of support, encouragement and friendliness.
I started Atkins with the "diet" mentality, never really believing I'd get to goal, let alone pass it! I was going to lose some weight, then stop. Now, I'm perfectly happy to continue this WOE permanently. I never thought that could happen, but it did. Being happy the way you eat makes all the difference in the world. Like a kind of miracle.
For those just starting out, who happen to read this... do, do, do hang in there through the sometimes (though not always) more difficult initial phases. It just gets easier as you go along, until finally, eating this way becomes absolutely natural... and so very satisfying on all fronts: weight loss, energy, appetite control, good health, self-esteem.
I know my posts are usually short (seems I need at least double the amount of hours in each day
) but despite my limited time, I really hope to pay it forward some, in the future.
to the lot of ya!

Re: Pics...finally!
You look fantastic. As far as the low carb products go, you're not missing anything. We have them in the states, but I think they all taste terrible. I don't buy any special low carb items.Michele SW250/CW 226/GW150 F, 38, 5'6"
