    I saw a post about this LLC group on another thread called "Anyone Doing Atkins." I would be intersted in joining. I have been doing Atkins since January and have lost pretty consistently on it (over 50 pounds since January). I am in OWL now, with spurts back to Induction when I feel like I've hit a plateau. I also did original Atkins 6 years ago, and lost 70 lbs, but ended up moving in with my grandmother and her home cooked southern meals for a year, and gained it all back. I don't really like the tracking and message boards on the Atkins site, and love that there is a group here on MFP.

    OK I know I am starting the last week and a half left of this month, but I have a couple goals I actually want to accomplish before the 30th:

    1. I want to establish a more organized exercise plan. I have been doing it sporadically on days off and mornings when I don’t have to be in until a little later at work, but I have found that without a set plan it's harder to stick to. In my eating I am very organized, even down to the times that I eat every day. I need to do the same with my exercise, even if it means adding it as an alert on my iPhone calendar.

    2. I want to give up pre-packaged foods as much as possible, except in "emergency" situations. I've found that Atkins bars and other packaged foods stall my weight loss, and I actually notice I feel better on days when I don't eat them. I am down to about 3 days a week eating Atkins bars, but I would like to cut it down to just situations where I am away from home and I have one in my purse to tide me over if I don't have any suitable options.

    My challenge for today is increase my water. I have already had 3 glases and plan on 2 more by noon. I am just shooting for 8 glasses a day for now. For the passed 3 mornings my blood sugar has been below 70 That has never happen to me before. All these veggies and fruit is paying off. I also get lots of water in my fruits and veggies.

    HAPPY FALL DAY. TIME TO GET OUT THE SOUP POT.

    iN THIS WEEK woman world mag. there is new diet the French 's Adkins diet. claim you can lose 1 3 lbs a week. you primary just eat lean meat,egg whites greek fat free yogurt, faat free cottage heese on phase one called the attack phase and the next day you add light veggies, you alternate betsween the two phase. everyother day. Too much protein for me.

    I am going thru something I don't understand. My blood sugar is running a lot lower than it ever has no matter what i eat. I called the doctor and the nurse said when I have a low drink orange juice. I think I really. need to see the doctor. about this. my fasting blood sugar this morning was 66 and has been like that for 4 or 5 days.. And that is very unseable for me. way unseally . We have plenty of orange juice on hand And I have quit taken my insulin, Will see if I can go see the doctor monday morning, and take my record with me.

    Sounds like something I would totally eat. :happy:

    Beware the sodium in the canned soup though-they can be crazy sky high!!
