    PLEASE wish me luck!

    Well, we are back from the store and we have TONS of Induction friendly stuff! I about laughed when the people behind us in the check-out looked at all of our MEAT, eggs & cheese ETC in horror and said "I sure hope you are having a really BIG family BBQ or something!" We smiled back and said "nope, we are going to do Atkins!" They looked even more horrified and said "oh God, good luck!" with sarcasm so thick you could cut it with a very dull knife!

    Anyway, in the morning we will officially join you all on the journey to take back our health and be happy & healthier! Please, if you would be so kind, wish us luck and say a prayer for strength and PATIENCE... we have such a long way to go. To make it worse, my distant cousin is getting married in THREE weeks (wasn't going to go, but got badgered into it) ..... great, now I have to find something to wear to a wedding! My usual T-shirts and shorts aren't going to cut it! UGH!!!!!

    Hi.

    Good for you to be planning before starting Atkins properly.

    I'm wishing you success, not necessarily luck.

    Happy Atkinsing!

                  If you tell people you are on a 'low carb diet' they might not look so horrified...

                    Your grocery cart sounds very much like mine
                    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!!

                        Thanks! Its day 2, so far so good.

                        That HARDEST thing about this so far, is waiting for the 2 weeks, so that we can see how much progress we have had!!!
