Re: 5 Minutes of Fame - 2big4mysize!
I don't have typical meals cause from day one I decided to allow my tastebuds and texture wants to rule the meal. My house was only low carb foods so I just opened the frig and grabbed what i wantedandthing from meatsand veggies to flax hotcakes and pumpkinbutter. That worked from day one to goal. I just increasaed the OWL food choices in there as I climbed the rungs.Originally posted by jimmie 48what is the biggest brain leak you have ever had?
other then trying to spell all the words right in a reply, that would have to be demonstarting to some weightlifters that insisted we were canabilizing our muscles eating Atkins 
how from a biochem human body standpoint they were wrong and we were actually growing muscles just fine.
what is a typical evening meal for you?
Now having to fix for Mother too I'm a bit more traditional with meat and veggies. I love to grill and she loves grilled foods so i fix a grilled meat either chicken, fish, beef, or pork with grilled veggies. tonight we are having grilled pork loin with grilled peppers,onions tomatoes,mixed greens and squash for me sweetpotatoes for her. I mairinate my veggies in a southwest spice and EVOO hers are in corn oil and salt'n'pepper since she doesn't like spicey foods. I'll have some nuts later and she will have her icecream.by the book atkinseer

What's the worst tasting Atkins meal you ever made? a nut sauce from india for turkey cutlets and veggies
What's your favorite daily "snack"??LOL well if I wanted to weigh 300+ pounds again it would be Meg's chocolate cream as I can't do portion control with it like she can so for me it is almonds
What book or books are you reading for fun/for yourself? I actually haven't had time to "read" a book since June cause I can't do chapters I got to read the whole thing. I like to read stuff to solve the mystery before the book does so I like mysteries but lately they are all so gory. and to learn stuff so I was reading the Tipping point and Blink last spring. I have a collection of books on the current treatment of Alzheimer that I'm reading and taking notes on so I can better deal with Mother.
When you go on vacation, what's your favorite essential vacation only treat? (can be food or other) Gosh this is hard. I don't really have a vaction only treat cause what i do on vacation is determined by the location the beach is swimming the mountains are hiking and camping. Oh wait I know I don't answer the phone!by the book atkinseer

Re: 5 Minutes of Fame - 2big4mysize!
Not really a question--Why don't you post a before/after pic for us! (haha, sorry, but I find you so mysterious and inspirational. I can't help but wonder.)
What part of the Atkins Diet did you find hardest in the first few months that you were doing it?
Now that you've been at goal for a while, do you find that people (like new casual acquaintances) even know you're on a diet?No stats. Not weighing anymore ever. Will post "before and after" pictures when I want to. The end.
Vigilance, not perfection.

Re: 5 Minutes of Fame - 2big4mysize!
[QUOTE=BenandHallesMom_1]1. How long did it take you to reach your goal with this WOE? this is a trick question cause I actually shot by healthy goal weight not knowing I had added more lean body mass and the BMI and height weight charts didn't recognise body composistion. I was at a healthy 19% body fat way back in Dec of 2003 which would have made it 19 months but I didn't realize it until I got to 14.9% body fat in May 04 and was still 8 pounds above the height weight chart top of the healthy range and still over weight on the BMI chart.
2. What is your "day" job? my full time job right now is caring for Mother. She has Alzheimer and needs constant supervision.
3. What is your favorite Atkins snack? well I already answered that above but again it is almondsby the book atkinseer
