      i'm so sorry you had to spend that much for the book! i bought mine new too [many years ago] but i don't recall having to pay that much. i've been on the lookout for copies at bargain basement prices. i know several other members that do that as well. but, like you said, at least you can jot notes in the margins now.

            Gosh - I nearly missed the sign-up for this challenge

            I'm in too, Jo, if that's OK with you! I havent done much indepth re-reading of our manual for a while so think it will be good for me as I always discover something new.
            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!!

              Had plenty of highlighters here. But I did splurge and I bought me some almonds. I also got some L-cartanine. I will start taking it tomorrow after my weigh in. I also got some Carb Masters yogurt by Kroger. I only got three so I can try them one every three days or so to see if they cause a prob. only 3 carbs each.
