    I think you're getting the hang out of how Atkins works, Marie, just give it time!!

    profjan- I'm glad you're benefiting from the LLC group! That's what we all want! Have a great weekend! :drinker:

    VJ150 I know you've been going at Atkins a while, are you still doing induction or have you transitioned over to OWL? I'm sure I've missed a few-sorry guys! Myself, I'm in Phase 3.

    Hey Saverys gal,
    I have been living Atkins for a very long time and I seem to be stuck for some reason. I try to keep my net carbs between 20 -30 daily. Some days I go over some days I don't. The weight is coming off, but very slowly. It is getting frustrating, but not to worry, I won't give up. I love nuts and raisins in my salad, but I think I will have to give them up and hopefully that will help restart the loss.

    Exercising is still a challenge for me, but I am working on it. Today is a beautiful day and I plan to go walking in the park before my day gets away from me.

    By the way - I don't eat eggs unless it is boiled and that is only if I have a taste for it. Otherwise, I can't stomach them. The steak idea is great for breakfast, if I can figure out how to get it prepared within the small window of time I have in the morning. We are out the door at 6:30 a.m.

    Thanks for checking on me. This is a long journey and I am in it for its duration!!

    Happy Saturday LLC's!!!

    My goal today is to drink atleast 64 oz of water and exercise atleast 30 mins... probably to a L. Sansone dvd.

    I haven't found my book so it might have been sent to thrift store in the last round of things I took... LOL but I will keep looking

    Good mornin Hammbone and V150

    Too bad you don't like eggs I have been to Cooks Recipe site and look up eggs cooked in microwave and here is one that sounds interestin.

    BILL'S SCRAMBLED EGG DELIGHT

    1 tbsp. butter, melted
    4 eggs
    1 tbsp. milk ( change to whipping cream)
    2 slices American cheese
    1/4 tsp. cinnamon (to taste)

    I would half the recipes for me

    Microwave Directions: Melt butter in a medium bowl. Add eggs and milk cream and beat well. Cook on high for 90 seconds, stirring and rotating 1 time. Cut cheese into small squares and into egg mixture. Add cinnamon and microwave on High for 30 seconds or until cheese is melted and eggs are done. Serves 2.

    Is most of the group following Atkins?
    Is most of the group in phase 2?

    Calie, I know you are starting phase 1.

    Breakfast ideas???? Wow, I eat running so I generally grab a protein shake... LOL, did I mention I am a bit lazy????
    I do agree with Savry's gal though, if I can eat it for supper, I can eat it for breakfast!!! So how about some fajita meat in lettuce wraps???

    I like to make those egg, sausage, cheese muffins and freeze. Grab in the morning, pop in microwave while I am getting ready for work and grab on the way out the door.

    Hmmm, I eat way tooo much in the car!

    Hubby and I are following Atkins - I am still in induction and he is into Phase 2.......Hiya :)

    Just wanted to say hi and welcome to the new people. I hope everyone is having a great labor day. Here in Michigan, it pretty much stormed all morning until late afternoon. I am getting in some exercise every day, and it feels good.

    Hugs,

    Good morning everyone! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

    Here's to a fresh week and the first full week of September! :bigsmile: I personally can not wait for fall to get here. It's going to be a lovely 92 here today, and after it was 80 all weekend! :sad:

    So how is everyone doing with their goals??

    I've been doing good incorporating new foods-I'm in love with greek yogurt! I also had a banana last week and bought a bunch of apples over the weekend plus some peaches, so I'm adding back in fruit, sugar be damned!

    I did NO exercise at all last week. So my goal this week, starting today, is to exercise every other day. Last week was a bad week between TOM and migraines galore...so I let myself rest but this week I kick butt! :wink:

    Savery - boy, you'd kill for the weather we are having in Iowa - it's been in the 70s every day - this morning it was a chilly 42 degrees! Just last week we were in the 90s - it's like we went straight from summer to winter almost - at least it feels that way! Time to get the sweaters out!

    I'm back on track with my goals, but need to re-read them to reinforce them in my brain... I'll be back later!

    You're very welcome jenuwine! :flowerforyou:

    You've got great goals! We're all here to help one another and keep on track!!!

    :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

    NO FAIR! I want your weather resalyn!! LOL. Maybe not the 42 degrees but I'll definitely take the 70s!! So sick of the heat! Although even though it was like 92 yesterday and it's somewhere around there again today, our humidity is dying off, so at least it's tolerable!

    So my food goals are going fine-I love fruit so much that I'm kinda just saying the hell with it and eating it daily. Since I weigh daily I'll notice any crazy fluctuations. No exercise last night...so that means I have to do it tonight! Help hold me accountable LLCers! I need to put in at least 30 minutes!! I've got to get back in the groove! My energy and everything else are just so much better when I exercise regularly...
