Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 Simmie Welcome aboard! I made it into the wonderful world of 50 about 5 years ago. Enjoy! You are now old enough to SAY what you want, and be damned with the consequences (within reason of course!) I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to relive those early years, I really like where I am at! I really agree with you about walking in the rain at the beach....awesome. That is where I would like to be in 10 years, retired and at the beach. My dream is to open my back door and be ON the beach!

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 Welcome to a great list Simmie. You will love our wild and whacky group. Sometimes we get a little off topic, but there is warmth and more support than you can imagine. You will find this group to be very knowledgeable regarding low carbing as well as exercise.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 Welcome Simmie. Oh you are just a spring chicken to me as I have a few years on you. I got very excited reading about your cats. I have 5 Himalayans and a Persian and an orange tabby. Hope you enjoy your time here. we tend to be more friendly than factual, that is to say we get carried away at times.

I have 5 Himalayans and a >Persian and an orange tabby. My Himalayan is my nurturer. I love her dearly [as I do the other one as well, but he tends to be standoffish at times]. I got the Tiger-stripe as a Christmas gift 11 years ago, and he was destroying my counter during the day when I was at work. A friend had the Himalayan given to them by someone else whose hubs was throwing her [the cat] in the shower and turning on the water, or throwing her in the pool. My friend's cat and Snowy didn't get along, so she came to me one frightened little cat, at 1 year old. The two hissed at each other and she slept in the cat carrier for two weeks <g>, but the two are great with each other. When I'm not feeling well, or am just down in the dumps, the Himalayan comes over and will NOT leave me wallow in my bad mood. One funny story, quickly: You'd think she'd hate water, right? Not! She's been known to climb into the bathtub with me and just walk around in it, purring so loud! When I take showers, she does everything she can to get the door open so she can join me, she loves the water. >Hope you enjoy your time here. we tend to be more friendly than factual, >that is to say we get carried away at times. That's ok by me!!!!! One question I do have -- I'm looking for ideas for side dishes to my entrees and also some snacks. I've got the cream cheese with ham wrapped around it snack as an idea, pre-cooked bacon, etc. Any other ideas? Simmie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 Hi Simmie! Glad to see that you joined (Simmie is on my meno list)....I really liked your answers on the questionnaire, LOL. Did not know you lived in Canoga Park...I have an aunt there (she is only three years older than me)...we are going to be visiting her, but alas, she is moving to Arizona and that is where we will be going. There are a lot of recipes in the archives and on our home page. I have been doing Atkins since 1997 but fell off the wagon (although I stuck around here whining a lot) for two years and am back on induction again.

ROFL I've been doing the induction for about 3 days and have been trying to stay at 0 carbs, as we decided the weight would come off faster. And my doctor said that because I really don't have any health problems other than short of breath due to couch-potato syndrome <g>, for two weeks it wouldn't hurt. But I'm finding that I am parched all the time, I can't get enough water or soda or liquids down me. And right now I have a horrid case of the flu AND a cold, and am sneezing and well you know what happens to your bladder when you get older!

Pork rinds of course. is pretty good at these ideas so when she comes on I am sure she will give you some....the cabbage thing seems like it would be a good snack too.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Hi all! I just got the invite here so thought I should introduce myself. My name is Kristy and I'm currently 1 year & 9 days post op. I've lost 112-114 lbs (depending on the day) and am pretty much at goal...give or take a pound or two. I had a relatively easy time...no complications with surgery or from the surgery. I do dump off of sugar & fat...so that helps keep me in line. I'm glad I did this and only wish I did it earlier. Nice to meet you all... Kristy 254/141/140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
