Craigslist. There are often people either giving away or selling bags of clothes, usually in one size. It's not glamorous, but it's definitely cheap

I tried nearly everything (patches, gum, pills, cold turkey) to quit smoking. I smoked for about 15 years, off and on, and finally was able to successfully (130 days today) quit by using nicorette lozenges...though I had to wean myself off of those, too. I didn't notice any subsequent weight gain, though I was heavy…

once upon a time, I lost 60lbs on Atkins. Then gained it all back once I stopped the lifestyle. I tried it again because the weight would always come off so fast, but IMO it's hard to keep up with, especially because one bad day can throw you out of ketosis, and you have to start all over again. At least if I have a bad…

that you won't quickly adjust to your body changes. Once i went to put my hands on my hips and it actually felt weird to have to bring my hands in further in (or closer?) than they had been when my hips were wider.

Same. I wash it every day and condition it once a week (if I remember). My hair looks like I've been on The Walking Dead if I go a day without washing!

I was a little worried this morning when I realized that I only really do 30DS and that's a 20 minute workout. I thought "How am I gonna add another EIGHTY minutes?" Success! Ended up walking around a trade show here in NYC for almost 2 hours and even at a slow pace (slow for me, 2.5mph), I made it! I discounted some time…

This is my first challenge and I am so in! I'm gonna start small and hopefully move up in the upcoming weeks. Week # 1 – February 3rd -- Goal 180 minutes: Mon: Tue: Wed: Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total / min left: 0 / 180

It seems pretty clear that the sugars in the beer are what are causing you to hold water weight. Stay off alcohol for awhile or if you must, hard liquor is better, carb-wise.

the first thing that came to mind was a nice steak with a side of loaded broccoli (like a loaded potato...but broccoli instead!)

kinda! cream cheese unsweetened cocoa powder (to taste) splenda (to taste, usually 1-2 packets) mix together and enjoy!

One of my favorite easy fixes for a chocolate craving: cream cheese unsweetened cocoa powder (to taste) splenda (to taste) mix together! that's it.

That's not totally accurate. Net carbs = carbs - fiber. So your candy bar is actually 10 net carbs.

Hi guys! So glad to see people here doing Atkins! Im on day 2 of Induction. Not going to weigh myself until next Wednesday so I dont become a slave to the scale. I did Atkins ~10 years ago and lost 65lbs over the course of a year (the last 20lb took the longest) so Im hoping that, despite my metabolism decreasing, it will…
