Welcome to the list !!! Interesting, but your starting weight and

goal are very similar to mine. I started at my all-time high of 206 and my

goal is 151!!

Glad you found us... Hope your cupboard cleaning goes well. We are here for

you when you need us!

Hi ,

Welcome to the list. YOu will find it to be a great source of support,

especially if you have a sense of humor as we are a bit nutty at times. But

this is the most support I have ever had for losing weight. So jump right

into the fray.

Welcome to the list . This is a great place for tips, support and

encouragement.

Beth

Hi,

Just joined the group tonight. I had a physical yesterday, and I

hate to say it, but I am at my all time high as far as weight goes.

I have done the low carb diet before, but it has been a few years. I

did well for a few months, until I hit that plateau, followed by a

vacation and have not looked back since.

Now that I had that wake up call, I am back on the low carb diet,

which will remain a way of life this time. Thought I would join the

group this time for some encouragement, and information as I get back

into this.

Tomorrow morning I am cleaning out the cupboards and whatever is not

low carb, is outta here. The unopened stuff will go to work with me

and into the box for donations to our local food pantry.

I am determined this time to lose it and keep it off. And I need to

get back on the NordicTrack and start lifting weights again...(they

are just collecting dust at the moment).

Guess that's enough for now....just wanted to say hi.

Hi, My name is Dena, I am new to this list and just started this way of

eating yesterday. This morning I was down 4 lbs !!! THAT is encouraging!

Reading your post made me believe it. I thought maybe I just did not read

the scale right.

I look forward to receiving help here and giving it - when I learn how to do

this like a pro!

Thanks for the welcome! I have 3 days behind me now and 7 lbs gone!

This is very exciting. I have a dilemma facing me this weekend

though. We are invited to a friend's house for dinner and I have not

told this friend about the diet I am doing. (I don't think she will

be supportive.) How do I save the day? Should I eat less the rest

of the day and eat just a little of what ever she is having? I know

these things are going to happen and I don't want to feel like a

failure if I don't know my carbo count for one meal.

Any help I will appreciate!

Dena

Call ahead and find out what she's going to be serving. You might be find

by just skipping the starch. It it's something like lasagna with garlic

bread you're in trouble!

Would your friend be supportive of you losing weight? Can you just say you

aren't eating flour, sugar and starchy foods? Most people can relate to

that - it's the name Atkins or high-protein or no carbs that they get fussy

over. But a plate with some meat and veggies on it does look like a typical

diet plate to me.

Can you offer to bring something? Maybe a veggie and cheese tray for

starters or a dessert (we've got tons of great dessert recipes that non

low-carbers love too and don't even have to realize are low carb!).

My advice would be to plan to stick to your diet. If you don't want her to

know at all, eat a bunch of protein before you go. Take small servings of

things you shouldn't have and larger servings of those you can. Most people

won't call you on what you are eating unless you make a big deal about it.

Just don't eat the bad stuff on your plate! Shuffle it around a little If

questioned, say " it tastes' really great, but I had a big lunch and my eyes

were bigger than my stomache " . If you've told her you can't eat the starchy

stuff, she'll probably make sure there are extra veggies for you.

I went 14 months of family functions and eating out before I first cheated -

I wish I never had! With a little fore thought and planning, the night will

be a breeze! And think of how great you'll feel the next day reporting how

well you did!

[Guest guest]

Tell your friend that your doctor has told put you on a diet that requires

avoiding sugar, white flour, and starches. A friend will not argue with

your doctor's advice. Only you need to know that your doctor's name is

Atkins.

Hi, Kathy, welcome to the group. May I refer you to our bookmarks for

newbies, link at bottom of this post...it'll give you some excellent reading

sources about type 2 and diabetes in general. Ask any questions you like.

Many of us here use a lower carb approach to BG control, as you'll learn if

you read our " success stories, " links at bottom too. Vicki
