in Introduce Yourself
Hello,

I am currently seeking to lose about 70lbs. I recently gained a whooping 40lbs last year after losing 30lbs due to BC. Need motivation in removing the 40lbs plus an additional 30. Also, I have found it difficult to log low carb on the food diary. Ex. eggs or omelettes. For all low carbers, please share with me any information that will be useful. I am also seeking to burn anywhere in between 750 to 1000 calories 5 days a week. Look forward to chatting with Everyone! : )

    Hey lateast! I've just begun Atkins. I grill all of my food (besides eggs) so I usually eat chicken, lean beef, or seafoods. I can't say I have too much useful advice since I've only done this for three days... I have been filling up on water to drive away any carb cravings. I will also be starting the 30 Day Shred to expedite the whole weight loss process.

    Welcome, good luck, and let us know if you have any questions :-)

    Thanks for the encouragement! My biggest problem is needing NEW low carb recipes because some things I eat often bores me. LOL! Are you guys eating any sugar free products as well or just meat & veggies?

    Good Luck to you both!!!

    Check out the Atkins website for lots of great recipes. Make sure you have your settings to show both carbs and fiber so you can subtract the fiber for your net carbs.
