  • So I started walking for 30 minutes (nothing strenuous - just a walk) and I cut WAY back on the peanut butter - only once every few days instead of every day - and things are starting to move! Down 7.5 pounds now, in three weeks which isn't half bad. I'll take it! When I see that number drop on the scale it's just…

  • I have been eating peanut butter as a snack almost every day, but I am diligently measuring it. I'll cut back, and see what happens!

  • I am in ketosis (according to the ketostix) and I am getting in my 4 cups of veggies daily.

  • I'm trying Atkins for the first time (I'm only on Day 9), but after perusing the boards, I've noticed that most people don't lose if they use shakes, bars etc. so I've been avoiding them.

  • I've only been doing this for 5 days and I'm down 5 pounds. A bit flabbergasted by it, and wondering why I haven't tried Atkins before, because I feel better than I have in months.

  • Thanks y'all. On Day 5 now and the symptoms (especially the headaches!) have abated, and I'm feeling really good. Better than I have in months!

  • A gentleman comes in to my gym regularly wearing a kilt. And then he changes into his "workout" kilt. No word on whether he's actually wearing anything under said kilt (hopefully he is as he straddles the weight benches - a lot!) There's also a dude with Tourette's who wears a T-shirt that says "Why yes, I am crazy" as he…
