Hi I just started this atkins diet and trying to stay below 20 carbs a day. Just some basic questions?? Whats a good shopping list and how many carbs. How much do you lose you think within the first 2 months? Anything anyone would like to help me with I would enjoy any feedback you would like to give me thanks so much!! 
I noticed that lately I’ve been losing 5 lbs a week [which I'm very happy about]
Well, this time around… TOM is creeping up and I only lost 3 lbs this week.. and I’m UPSET ABOUT IT!!!! I shouldn’t be.. because 3lbs a week is GREAT.. sh*t.. on a low fat diet I’m lucky to average 1lb a week!!
Somebody tell me that I’m being a greedy baby!!!!
Whew! My goal was to be at 150 by Feb. 1st. Today the scale finally hit it. I’m not disappointed I didn’t meet my timeline. I’m thrilled I’ve lost 14 pounds since Jan. 2nd. Even though I have only lost 2 pounds in six weeks, my body shape has changed, I am fitting into old clothes, my hunger level has decreased and my energy level has increased.
So for those of you who have been losing slowly….don’t despair….hang in there…..you can do it.
Things I have been doing well:
carb friendly foods in the fridge at all times
exercise
watching carbs and calories
Things needing improvement:
more water
more veggies
less alcohol
Hi
I have been low carb-ing with my husband and sister in law for about 6 month now, and we are having some problems with recipes that call for soy. I have thyroid problems and was told now to do soy at all and my husband and sister in law are very allergic to soy, so besides almond flour what is a low carb flour that we can use in our baking. I know so little about healthy foods so any help would be very appreciated 
Ok, I will not bore you all with the minute details of why it was such a bad day. Brief synopsis – I am a teacher in Florida and today we got the news that budget cuts next year will be twice as bad as expected. Add to that a teenage daughter who is trying to stretch her wings and you get the picture.
LC weirdness – I hate it that when I begin to get compliments for my weight loss, I immediately want to BINGE! And I mean right that minute! I am rolling my eyes at myself right now. I received three compliments between yesterday and today. Then this afternoon, we had cake ( my drug of choice) at a meeting. Needless to say, I caved big time. Dang me. 
Meh, lost weight, stopped, gained…gotta get back on track. Anyone wanna join forces? I could totally use a support system.
I’m going shopping in a couple hours and to be honest….I CANT WAIT!
