Hi All,
I was hoping someone could tell me if sugar free cough drops are
safe for us to use. I bought a package of Halls sugar free today.
They contain aspartamine…but all the sugar-frees I could find do.
The package doesn’t give nutritional info. I haven’t used them
yet…waiting to hear if anyone has an opinion on them.
Thank you!

Can you drink the Atkins shakes that they sell at Walmart during the
first two weeks? I noticed they have 5 grams of carbs each. So, does
that mean you can drink them like slim fast and then eat a reg meal
low in carb?

Yes I have read the book 2 or 3 times, but am I following it
correctly? This is what I intake for a day. Breakfast a hard boiled
egg, a couple links of Turkey sausage, and a few glasses of water. If
I want to nibble on something in the morning I have a few Pork Skin
Rinds, or a sugar free ice pop. Lunch I have a salad, a few slices of
turkey breast, and a few slices of cheese. If I crave something in
the afternoon I’ll have a hard boiled egg and just a few slices of
chicken breast. Dinner last night we had 80% groundbeef patties with
a slice of cheese, I had 2 with a small salad. By this time of the
day I have drank about 5 glasses of water. I’ll have 1 cup of decafe
coffee with 1/2 and 1/2 and no sugar a day. I do my treadmill
everyday at least 20 minutes but usually 30 minutes a day. In 2
months I have lost about 20 pounds, went down almost 2 sizes in pants
and 2 sizes in shirts. I am happy at my weight loss so far, but
should I be losing more? And what can I do to increase my weight loss
that I am not already doing. Please e-mail to jmfrdie4fun@… I
find it hard to get to this web site at times…tahnks for listening
and good luck to you all……….John

I use regular bar soap (pure & natural) to bathe my dogs. Never had a
problem with that. I don’t see why the baby shampoo won’t work. Just be
sure to rinse it off real good or it will cause a problem.

What kind of mayo can you use and can you eat pickles? Also, are you
only allowed 20 grams of carbs a day?

hi charlotte and sharon..
jealous ?? gosh. i must confess to the both of you.. and everyone on this
list. that i have struggled with bulmia for the last ten years of my life. so
much . that i had a heart attack at the age of 32 and now have full dentures..
from stomache acid..
as most of you know i have been blessed with a son. he was four precious
months on the 17th. i am ashamed to admit that i did not stop self induced
vomiting. laxative abuse or dirutics until i was over four months pregnant
one of the main reason why i personally am on atkins. is cuz of the
elimination of carbs .. and im doing very well. my bulima has been dormat for a
while..
i have suffered very low self esteem and have been “fat” in my brain. if
that makes sense. i am a emotional eater and have dealt with the “core” issues
of
what was actually eating me. its hard..
please dont be jealous. you see. i would cut off my right arm. not to allow
my weight and appearance to run my life. and i still have a long way to go
love

? wow.. i havent really been keeping up with the posts.. goodness..
i wanted to ck in and see how everyones halloween challenges are going.. i
cannot wait to get on the scale and see
i havent been on in about 2 weeks….. and it will make 30 day induction. i
personally dont mess round with carb bars.. i feel they are awful tasting and
would much rather eat food.. i also dont like to try to “cheat” and not cheat
if that makes sense.. when i decided to do atkins. i decided to give up some
things. and you know?? they are not really important to me any more….ive
noticed that if i feel like having candy. a good walk helps more. and so does
hugging my baby ..
good luck on your diets
