    FINALLY! A milestone met...

    Hi all,

    For the first time in 12 years, I am under 300 lbs. I'm under my wedding-day weight of 305. AND it's that TOM.

    Thanks to Atkinsgal, Liv and the others who've coached me to add more veggies (how did I miss "NET" carbs??!?) that got me off my stall.

    I love this WOE. My Type II diabetes disappeared after only a week, and I'm totally off all meds.

    A long way to go yet, but I feel very encouraged.

                            Great work, Shelley
                            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!!
