Guest guest Posted June 6, 2001 Report Share Posted June 6, 2001 Welcome . My start weight was about what yours is (I was 214.5) I'm down now to just hovering the 170 mark. This is a different way of eating (WOE) and it flies in the face of that crap they call " conventional wisdom " . Eating healthy, real, food is not bad for you. How could tons of sugar and high-carb processed food be good for you? Low carb eating will help you lose weight, reduce your cholesterol, lower your blood pressure, stabilize your blood sugar and probably save your pancreas from years of unnecessary wear and tear. Don't listen to the nay-sayers. Make your own, educated, decision. We're glad to have you with us! -Marlena >From: polkadotcow@... >Reply-To: Atkins_Support_List >To: Atkins_Support_List >Subject: hello >Date: Wed, 06 Jun 2001 17:42:20 -0000 > >my name is stephanie i am a stay at home mom of 3. >A few years ago I went on the atkins diet and lost 21 pounds.

Yesterday i had my first comment about my weight. I take part in a lot of things at my son's school and spend most of my time there. I was in the Computer room with a group of mums and the Headteacher came to see how we were getting on. She said to me " You are looking well , How is the Diet going? " I told her i have lost 25lbs now and she said " Well done that is really great, When did you start? " I couldn't remember i said about mid-April and she said " That is excellent " . When i got home, i looked in my Atkins Diary and i actually started on May 1st so i made sure i told everyone when i got back to school to fetch Bret.

The best thing about it is that these people notice and care enough to make a comment about it. I shall miss this when Bret leaves this school because eveyone cares so much :-( Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2001 Report Share Posted June 7, 2001 Jen, Congratulations on your compliments! It really tickled me to read your conversation with the teacher, and imagine it in a British accent. You have such civilized conversations! Over here, that conversation would have gone something like this . . . "Hey Jen! Lookin' great! How's the old diet goin?" "Terriffic! I've already lost 125 pounds!" "Cool! How long you been on that thing, anyways?" Now, don't you agree that you Brits at least SOUND smarter than we Yanks? Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I have a very hard time talking about this WOE anywhere else but here. Some people just don't get it. Then I have a few friends that know a little bit of everything or they know someone who has done it (even though they haven't) and of course this is horrible, horrible for you. So some people I don't even bother talking about with it. Almost like that thing don't discuss religion or politics with certain people!

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2001 Report Share Posted June 7, 2001 I came across this gem and thought that it reminded me of your comment - BAD ENGLISH No wonder (American) English is so hard to learn… We polish the Polish furniture. He could lead if he would get the lead out. A farm can produce produce. The dump was so full it had to refuse refuse. The soldier decided to desert in the desert. The present is a good time to present the present. At the Army base, a bass was painted on the head of a bass drum. The dove dove into the bushes. I did not object to the object. The insurance for the invalid was invalid. The bandage was wound around the wound. There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. They were too close to the door to close it. The buck does funny things when the does are present. They sent a sewer down to stitch the tear in the sewer line. To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. The wind was too strong to wind the sail. After a number of Novocain injections, my jaw got number. I shed a tear when I saw the tear in my clothes. I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend? I spent last evening evening out a pile of dirt. -- In Atkins_Support_List@y..., " Terry L.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Dear Amy in CA, I weighed 351.2 when I started my WLS journey on Sept. 5th and now I weigh 328. That's 23 pounds lighter than I was 3 weeks ago and I am very happy about that. I am most happy thinking about the future with my husband and my four little girls. I'm happy for you and your projected Nov. surgery date. You'll do wonderfully, I'm sure of it! God bless you and take care. Love! Trace Open RNY -- 9/5/02 Dr. Schechner, Norfolk and Va.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Dear in MI, Welcome home! I'm sorry to hear about your problems but I sure am glad that you didn't have a blood clot and that they finally found out what the matter was! And you're absolutely right! In a few short weeks you'll be feeling sooo much better. In fact, each day that you get a good night's rest and sip your water and drink your protein, you'll feel better in the morning! Keep up the good work. I'm praying for you. Love, Trace Open RNY -- 9/5/02 Dr. Schechner, Norfolk and Va.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Hi Steve: Welcome to the group. You must be such a great son to be taking such an interest in your Mom's health problem. I have two wonderful kids - one daughter who is a Nurse and one son who is a Computer Systems Developer with IBM. They are very concerned about my difficulties and although they may have looked up things on the computer we never seem to discuss the situation. I guess that is due to the fact that I have a hard time controlling my emotions so we just tend to avoid the discussions. Am glad for your Mom that you are willing to lurke or participate and believe me this is the place for you to find more information than you will get from the Drs. Take care.
