Great voice FT! Love it. Sounds like you're on the fast track to success...or already there!

I'm in the process of setting up a mySpace account... makes a change from yahoo... but still new to it. Seems like fun.

Re: I'm starting Atkins .. tomorrow

aww thanks for checking my page out sally .. really chuffed you like the songs.
I held off getting a myspace page for ages ( I have had my own personal website for 8 yrs or so) .. but eventually caved in ..a muso friend of mine describes it as a one page busiess card .. which I think is pretty apt.

Re: I'm starting Atkins .. tomorrow

Yes... liked them alot. Listened to them all.

A one page business card is a great way to describe myspace, I think. I've yet to put anything on my "business card"... or add any friends. Never much time to work out the ins and outs of it!

How're you doing on day 2 (or is it 3?) of Atkins?

Good luck on induction "fat tony" - and if you stick to it and go through the rungs you'll be "skinny tony" by the time your sisters see you. Plus you can have a beer with them as I think you'll just be hitting the alcohol rung when they visit!!

I also find exercise a huge help at shifting the pounds!!! Even just fast walking helps!

I cant wait to hear how you've done

Re: I'm starting Atkins .. tomorrow

sally ... I just weighed myself .. and was pretty blo*dy horrified .. but what it did do was make me strengthen my resolve. The headache is starting .. only peppermint tea and water for two day.. a little PEPSI MAX .. I want to get to 14 and a half stone .. and stay there.

Re: I'm starting Atkins .. tomorrow

Re: I'm starting Atkins .. tomorrow

Ouch .. I'd be happy to .. I'm starting day 4 and not a lot seems to be happening
Still feel fat .. and the buzzy lightheadedness hasn't yet kicked in.

Donna .. dunno .. what do you think .. the fat Tony bit I quite like!
I also like the Confuscius saying.

Re: I'm starting Atkins .. tomorrow

Sounds like you've got the dreaded induction flu! Drink lots of water today and I bet by tomorrow you will feel better. Is your eating going okay?

[FatTony]

Re: I'm starting Atkins .. tomorrow

about 2 lites a day .. but nothing seems to be happenning ... yet

[sallyseachange]

Re: I'm starting Atkins .. tomorrow

Nothing happening in the weight loss department?
You could be losing inches. Good idea to measure too, as the tape measure is always more reliable than the scales.

Otherwise, if you're still not losing after a little while, you could try posting a menu or two in the Review my Menu forum so that people can make suggestions. Often it's just a little thing that needs tweaking. Hang in there!

Re: I'm starting Atkins .. tomorrow

thanks Sally . it's tough in the Czech Republic (maybe in Italy too) ..we don't have the vast array on foods .. things like splenda for example .. as are avaialble in the US and UK. had chicken fajitas today .. no rice .. beans or tortilla though

[sallyseachange]

Re: I'm starting Atkins .. tomorrow

Yes... I have probs getting stuff here too and spend a fortune having things sent out by courrier.
Netrition would send Splenda to Prague, I think. They seem to send to most countries of the world... except Italy (grrrrrr!) because of our frightful customs.
From the UK I order from Lowcarbmegastore.

Fajitas? Yummm! Holding the rice/beans/tortilla is absolutely the way to go until OWL (when you get to have beans again). Good for you!
