feel free to add me, making headway on losing right now.

Walking is great, when you walk a mile or run a mile, you have done the same work, burned the same amount of calories. You probably make your heart beat faster when you run but the work, moving your body over a set distance is essentially the same.

a week

I sent you a Friend request and any1 that is honestly trying to lose weight and get food in the right perspective in their life can add me as well. And please if you are successful let me view your diary and see what you are doing.

I second on the stevia

I have added you and anyone who needs help can add me

Any1 add me especially if you don't mind letting me see your diary, so if your doing great, I can see what you are eating.

move to Texas, I don't think that is much of a problem down here.

I am sure that salt is good for you as recent European studies have shown that low salt has added to mortality rates or shortened mortality rates

or eat green peas, I hear they are an excellent source of iodine

okay it is not much of a problem, just drink more water than usual, bye bye sodium, excess sodium will hit the toilet. I have 2 20 ounce water bottles that say Fred and can fit my pocket and drink 80 ounces a day. Also the iodine in table salt is good for you, stops rickets so use some or take an iodine tablet hey add me…

and anyone else can add me if they are active and need an active friend/motivator

Hey I have done this before with great success, except I injured my rotator cuff and went back to my old eating habits. A year or so later here I am starting over but am really excited and ready to get off the merry go round. I need active friends to help motivate me. You can add me if you want

water is okay and retaining water is okay, especially if you are young and healthy and maybe having to sweat a lot .

actually it was a balsamic vinegar glaze made with spenda brown sugar which unfortunately has some real sugar but I did not use much and as i am the only one trying to diet i just put a spoonful on. My wife made it all but I just thought it looked great so I took a picture of it and spent some time trying to get it on the…

so their is no extra sodium requirement for active people who sweat or working outside? salt is such an unknown

i love my eggs fried or scrambled but that yogurt is good too with some flax seed and berries. but that is getting pretty far from atkins

did 2 minutes in interval training with walking in between strength moves

lol I did the same thing, you have to read labels thoroughly i guess. You are not an idiot and your doing great so keep going. We just need to get better at shopping.

i am sure the biggest losers did not eat back their calories

and i love their new chopped salads

Thanks for your voluntary service, i am hoping all is going well.

on atkins you want to concentrate your carbs on the low end of the glycemic scale

Seems I am on a roller coaster of carbs going from 70 to 12 carbs but the average being around 50 and the median being close to 40. But my garden is also dictating that i eat more carbs so I dont waste the homegrown veggies.

thanks

any update Coco?

sounds like your making good progress

i thought you would feel flattered that you inspired someone to walk across the room and perspire to impress you
