Hi , and welcome...so did you stick with Atkins or are you

re-starting? What results have you had? I think that right now you might

be our youngest member on the list. HOw do you manage being away from home

(the diet)?

Exercise today and every day!

It will keep you looking and feeling younger throughout your entire life!

[Guest guest]

Joya,

Yes I did stick with Atkins when I left this list...for the most part. I have

my cheats now and then, especially now that I live in the dorms and have to eat

whatever is here. Fortunately we have a decent salad bar in the cafeteria. I

eat from that every day and I have the meat they serve when it's " legal " . I

stock my fridge with cream cheese, celery, lunch meat, string cheese, etc so

I've always got a snack if there's nothing in the cafeteria to eat. My fiancé's

doing the grocery shopping tonight...that means I get yummy things. He spoils

me! =)

I have lost 44.5 pounds since 6/26/00. (It was 45.5 but Thanksgiving threw me

for a loop!) I hope to be under 200 by Christmas. It will be close but I think

I will make it. =)

Oh, and I also got my mom to start Atkins this week. She's lost 3 pounds in 4

days. I guess she's liking it. She did tell me on day 2 that she misses her

bread and potatoes but she didn't say anything about that today, so I think her

cravings are gone. I'm so glad she's doing this. We were WW buddies a few

years ago. It's always easier when someone you know personally is on the same

plan (even though we don't even live in the same city anymore).

Welcome back to the list. I'm new since you've been away. My one year

anniversary of low carbing was this past October. It sounds like you're

doing great!

You and your family have been through so much this year. Yet you write with

bravery and courage. I hope you have a merry Christmas and your children as

well. You and your family have had our prayers and they will continue so

that no more hearing loss or further health challenges will occur in 2001.

WELCOME ! You certainly have a group of Angels watching over

you!! I can't even imagine how tired you must be.

This group is fabulous... loving, kind, and helpful when they have

the info. I have learned so much!

I was diagnosed in 1992 waaaaaay after after an Acoustic Neuroma

removed in '87. Multiples in head and spine. Developed a few skin tumors

recently that I have an appt for in January. Seems like a never ending

experience.

Major hugs to you and your family....and God watch over you.

>> drinking water during the week (it's embarassing topee the way my office is set up..everyone can hear you*giggle*)...

I've seen the solution to this...I'm sure everyone is also embarrassed when they use the bathroom.

One office had a radio on a pleasant station, and it was in the bathroom!!! You didn't really hear the flushing etc.
