    Hello, Chris from New Jersey

    This time I am doing it!! Today I watched the NYC Marathon, and you know what......I am going to participoate in the 2009 NYC Marathon!! I have to first gain a stronghold in the struggles with my weight. I am 5'10" and I weigh about 270lbs.....thats about 7 pounds down in 7 days on Atkins I have made a list of all those induction foods and even have created some recipes and put some ideas on paper. I am in charge now! During these first days I have enjoyed tuna fish, shrimp, tilapia, chicken, steak and eggs, spinach and broccoli, various cheeses......I know I am on the right, most direct track to where I want to be. My biggest difficulty lies with breakfast.....I don't want to have too many eggs every day. I have been having, get this......one-egg omelets!! It has worked for me though and I try to drink a sip of water between bites with everything I eat. A few days I skipped breakfast and I know that can't be good...yikes! If anyone can lend any suggestions to me I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance

    Welcome Chris!!

    I have a hard time eating eggs now without gagging
    I have found egg beaters to be really good - most of the time I have an Atkins Shake for breakfast - quick and the chocolate one really helps with whatever sweet cravings I may have.
    Good luck to you!!

      Hi Chris! I have a full meal for "breakfast" and save the eggs for a filler and quick snacks. If people on "regular" diets can eat pizza for breakfast, why should a pork chop be out of the question! I do have my own chickens though , so I probably eat more eggs than most Go with what works for you!





      290 lbs. on 11/02/07 Goal: 145 lbs. or size 14 whichever comes first!

        Hello there Chris! Nice to have you along for your Atkins ride, which will probably become a lifelong ride. Good to hear you're in control now.

        At breakfast, lots of us eat leftover meats, cold cuts, veggies... you can easily avoid eggs if you like. When you move up the OWL (ongoing weight loss) rungs it becomes simpler as you have more food choices to play with, so think about moving to OWL soon after the two week induction.

        Happy losing!
        Before and after:

        Completed: 1st set of buildings and mountains (Everest,M.Blanc & Kilimanjaro, twice); Tower Masts & Chimneys; More virtual buildings; Challenger's Choice x 2 (volcanos and mountains on Mars). Currently climbing: Mount Snowdon again: 416/475
