  • Officially 1 year on Atkins!

    I can't believe that 1 year ago today, DH and I made the best decision of our lives. We started this woe, and haven't turned back since. 90 lbs later, as I look back on those old pictures, it amazes me the transition I have made. I haven't been this weight for over 30 years, size 12 now, haven't seen that size since being in junior high, and I work out more than I did when I was in my 20's. Exercise is part of my daily routine. All this is attributed to reading DANDR, and following his teachings. I discovered ADBB 6 weeks later, and continue to learn from the wonderful people on here, and attribute alot of my success to all of you. I am only 22 lbs away from my goal. If I can do it, anyone can!!!

        Happy Atkinsversary, Cruisergal!
        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!



        Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

                  That is awesome! Isn't it amazing to think that you have eaten healthy for a solid year. That is a huge accomplishment. You are beating the sugar demons!
