Eggs at a 20 year high!! National News!

Wednesday, September 29th, 2004

LOL we are all making the chicken and egg people rich! I saw on the
news this morning that the cost of eggs are at a 20 year high…
supply and demand you know!!
I think it is wild how in the past few weeks I have seen such things
on the news… The bread people are BEGGING everyone to buy bread
products… they are running out of “dough” LOL!! The beef
industry is saying they are having the best year they have had in
many many years… and now the egg…
I also saw a spot on our local news last night about the Fridays &
Ruby Tuesdays restaurants having their low carb menu’s out.. I got
to peak at the menu for Fridays some weeks ago before it came out…
I was pretty impressed.. A great alternative for those that want a
special night out!
At any rate.. It looks as if the LC people are speaking out.. with
their wallets! WOW are we being heard!! Now.. I wonder if those
bread companies and candy companies will follow suit and start
producing a better product with lower carbs for us to purchase….
Peace!

weight after a week and some questions

Wednesday, September 29th, 2004

I weighed yesterday. I am now 311/301/175. Today is day 7 for me. Not bad.
Have a question? I am no longer craving and seldom hungry. Yesterday for
example, we had a hard day at work (Labor and delivery nurse). I ended up only
eating a cup of green beans. When I got home I was so tired that I just had
a few celery stalks with the can cheese while I cook for the family. I
quickly fell asleep before I could eat anything else. What happens when you
forget
to eat.
Question 2: does anybody eat Vienna sausages for snacks—-no carbs listed
question 3: what about the can cheese.
Question 4: I founds some sweet pickles relish that has no carbs or sugar.
Not the best in the world but I may get used to it. Has anybody else tried
these.
I also must have lost some inches as I can fit in a pair of pants that I
could a few weeks ago.
Can we say I am extremely happy here for 6 days?

Ketosis Question

Tuesday, September 28th, 2004

I am on day 10 and ate some mozarella sticks at Applebees last night. How
bad is that?
Secondly, I thought ketosis was to be measured in the morning (most
concentrated), but I read that you should check it at night. Didn’t know
that. Why is that?

Okay, so you are a bit higher, but knowing Induction, you could be 172 again
in two weeks’ time! Shall I indulge a bit and wait up for you ;-) Seriously, go gal go! We are close enough to stick together through this.

Ok, well, I weighed myself and I am 177.0 and 36.6 BMI,. That is
interesting.. I regret so bad getting off atkins.. but at least I am
trying again. I just had 2 deviled eggs and a glass of water. I
think itll take me 2 days to get over my cravings, but I know I can
do it. Especially looking at all your posts! Thanks for the
inspiration!

Question???

Friday, September 24th, 2004

I started off at 244; on June 2 I was 232 and went on Atkins; I am now 185.
On a scale that does body fat by BMI, body fat is 22%. I don’t know if that
answers her questions, but it is the best I have to offer.
