Re: Semi Annual Veggie Challenge (May 12 thru 16)

I'm in!!!!!!!!!!!! It will give me incentive to try some new veggies. I'm the type you're talking about being on the fence about whether to move to OWL or stay on extended induction. Hopefully this gives me some insight

Yea Veggies! We just ate dinner at a Chinese restaurant last night and I went to the grill- I had a 1/2 plate of veggies (bok choy, onions, bell pepper, mushrooms, and a few snow peas) and 1/2 plate of chicken. He grilled it without sugar - just garlic & oil, and hot sauce- YUMMY! I'm back on Atkins (by my doctors orders) after a 8 years off and it was nice to eat out and not be depressed.

Hi there, spiritgirl. Thanks for signing up. Which phase of Atkins will you be in during the Challenge?

Hey, you're a lucky girl to have a doctor who understands the benefits of Atkins. Mine LOVES the Atkins WOE. It makes it a lot easier when you don't have to fight your own doctor about what's best for you. Most of the time, I am having to defend the fact that I do Atkins to people who just don't have a clue.

I'm in ............. I may need some help finding a veggie I hadn't tried ........ I wish I had held off my avacado ( never mind thats a fruit right?) oh well I"m sure there are zillions I have not tried ......... I will still be on induction for the challenge .........


Heidi

Heidi girl! Happy to see another Back to Basics buddy here.

Don't worry - if you can't come up with a new veggie, you can choose a veggie that you've had before and just come up with a new/different way to have it. Get creative!

While I have tried a lot of veggies since starting Atkins, I know I can find one I haven't eaten. Wonder what it will be?

Hi, Nichole

LOL... I have been seeing your username around the board, and chuckle everytime I see it. I have 3 huge Labs as indoor doggies, so it hits home with me.

Yes, this is the perfect challenge for you! Do you want to enter as Induction, or OWL? It's up to you... but I'd go for OWL!

This is really exciting.

Re: Semi Annual Veggie Challenge (May 12 thru 16)

Hey I have a question. Are we supposed to eat a veggie we've never had everyday? or is the main goal to have a veggie you've never had at some point during the five days? Thanks, I'm trying to plan my meals!

The goal will be to have a veggie that you've never had at some point during the five days. I'm so proud of you for planning already!

Sign me up! I need all the help I can get...

I am planning to restart induction on the 12th, so this is perfect.

Re: Semi Annual Veggie Challenge (May 12 thru 16)

Hi Mitzi- I'm new to doing this chat group thing... I like everyone's pictures and stuff at the bottom of their posts- I'll figure it out eventually. I'm in the induction diet - UGH! Thanks for creating the Veggie challenge! I used to be a vegetarian and can't eat dairy- i'll try to add some more recipes soon.

Re: Semi Annual Veggie Challenge (May 12 thru 16)

Krista, you're in!

Nora - It looks like you know how to get to the place to add things (like your name and smiley) to your siggie, correct? For those you don't know, you go to the blue bar at the top and click on "Quick Links". Then you click on "Edit Signature" and you're there!

I think some basic info to have in your siggie that can be helpful are your age, your start date, your start weight, current weight, and goal weight. If you want one of those cute little tickers, there are several places to get them. Mine came from www.tickerfactory.com . Pics can be a little tricky... I am computer challenged. I use www.photobucket.com to get my pics on here.

AND, here's something you can put in there, too! Just copy and paste him into your siggie. (right click on the graphic, then copy. Go to your siggie, right click, then paste). This shows that you are participating in the Veggie Challenge.



OK - Here's a roster of the names I have so far. Please check it to see if I have everyone's phase correct. There are a couple I wasn't sure about.

mitzimarie - OWL (still trying to drop a couple of pounds)
IrishMom82 - Induction
Roxxy - Induction
bythree - OWL
Alexa - Induction
brandywine1241 - OWL
Twinkie 30 - ?
Wendy - Induction
spiritgirl - Induction
RoxyRobin - OWL
