Re: Today marks one year since...

Woo hoo for you! So what phase of Atkins are you in and do you still have more weight to lose?

Thanks! I'm in OWL. I'm on rung 4 - berries. I stayed on Extended Induction for so long, it was scary to move on to OWL, but I did. I'm still loosing weight and I still want to lose more. I'm thinking about 30 or so more lbs, but I'm keeping that flexible. I keep telling family and friends, "I'll know when I get there" and I guess my body will tell me when it's at goal.

Hi, Sarah...weights are going great! Haven't posted in a while though with how busy life has gotten. I'll update later today though. I know what you mean about the cravings. I was craving cauliflower the other day! CAULIFLOWER! I never ate cauliflower before starting this WOE and now I'm craving that.

You continue to be a true inspiration to me (and many others on this board) and show just how doing Atkins right can transform a body!

Thanks, Kat...I'm still cheat free...since April 5, 2005! We went to a local dairy farm again the other day...DH and DS had ice cream...I did not. DH said, "I feel bad. Can't you just try one taste of this, it's so good." I looked at him and he said, "I know, I know...you're not eating anything you're not supposed to. You want to get to your goal." I told him not to feel bad. If I didn't want to stop so he and DS could get some ice cream I would have told him to take me home first. It just doesn't bother me when people are eating stuff I would have had pre-Atkins. I know I feel so much better now. I can sit with people who are eating things that are not on this WOE or at a higher rung than I am on and I'm OK with it.

Seems I want to be healthy and at a healthy weight more than I want whatever the person is eating.
