You guys had a baby not too long ago, right? Life happens. When I need to get refocused, I start tracking immediately. No fudging the carb count, either.

Just found your blog and love it. I've been on Low carb for almost 2 weeks. I haven't weighed but I can tell I have lost. LC is the best way to lose weight. I saw a quote today that said, "Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off of your goal". I've lost 40 lbs and have keep it off for a little over a year. Time to get serious again.

Hi, I just now found your website through Pinterest. I've been dieting for about a year & a half now. My hubby is diabetic, & I am very overweight & have severe osteoarthritis & / or Degenerative Joint Disease in most of my joints due to a genetic collagen defect. So I've got us on a low carb & low calorie eating plan. I don't like to use any word that has the word "die", as in "DIE-et", LOL! I need to lose about 40 more lbs to have a hip replacement. But mainly I need to lose weight to be stronger & healthier, & happier with myself & my life. I'm losing the weight very slowly on purpose, with no gimmicky skams that don't work. It took many years for me to gain all this weight, so it's foolish to think that some quick weight loss scheme will make me lose it & keep it off, which of course should be our goal. What helped me most is when I realized that each bite, snack or meal I take is a decision that only I can make, to eat healthy or not. If I eat healthy the weight will come off. If I don't it won't. It's that simple. No one can make the choice for me. Cheating happens, & beating ourselves up for it just makes it worse, so don't do it! Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off & get back on track. I've never read Dr. Atkins' book, but I know its basic idea & it's a good one, but like you I don't believe you have to spend a fortune for his book or his foods, etc. to use the principles & ideas & lose weight. I hope to see more of your good ideas, encouragement in the future. There is an online group that has helped me a lot, it is called Fat Secret (www.fatsecret.com). It is an group for weight loss, where you do weigh-ins, log your food journal, etc., & meet many others who are also trying to lose weight. Some are on Atkins or other diet plans, & others like me are basically doing it on their own. I'm not being paid or compensated for recommending them, it's just a great group that has helped me & maybe it could help you too, if you would like to check it out. I hope the ideas I've shared will help & encourage you. Wishing you all success in your weight loss journey. ~ Gina

I was enjoying the Atkins life style BEFORE there was all those "Atkins products' out there. Yes I read his book, his 1st book, and it made sense to me... I do admit that after the induction phase, I tweak/modify it a bit to allow for my milks, fruits & higher carb veggies otherwise avoided. If you make it a life style instead of a diet, it is healthy and effective.

I'm using all the leftover ham for dinner tonight.

Hello! I just found your site by searching whether or not Five Guys has a low-carb burger. Thanks for the info! :) I was in a major cooking rut myself & am very familiar with what you are going through with a new baby as I have 2 little ones, 4 & 6 now, that sounds old! For New Year's I started Paleo. There are so many great recipes & meal planning / grocery shopping tools out there. It requires a little planning but has been fun so far. I'm enjoying getting a ton of additional vegetables into my family's diet, and this way of eating has really calmed my stomach! I recommend checking out some of the blogs as Paleo is pretty similar to Atkins.
