Oh...one thing I forgot to say!

Oh...I forgot, I went to my doctor, and he had not seen me since last year.  He was very pleased with my weight loss (of 74 pounds when I saw him) and as he dictated, he stated Patient has lost a large amount of weight intentionally, and I do mean intentionally on the Atkins diet, I will be very interested as to what her choleresterol is at this point!  Well I had labs done last week, and have not heard back from them as of yet.  Will post it when I find out!!!  I asked him if he thought Atkins was bad for me, and he said at this point anything that can get the weight off of you-----I am all for!!!!!  LOL

Sorry I Have Been Busy!!!

Well here it is May 24th, and I am very pleased to say even though I have been busy with work and school, I lack one pound and I will have reached an 80 pound weight loss mark!!!!  Goooooooooooo Me!  And I continue on an on!  I don't understand why someone would prefer to starve on little caloric counts when you can truly eat lavishly and never be hungry!!!!  It has been months since I have tasted potatoes, but, I did learn to make a mean faux mashed potatoes with Cauliflower, recipe is in the Low Carbing with Friends Book!  Even my husband said you can fix this anytime!!!  My bread is mock danish, and other easily fixed faux bread recipes!  I wanted spaghatti, and bought spaghetti squash, baked it while I fixed my spaghetti sauce, and you talk about something good!!!!  It was delicious.  If I keep on I think I might even convert my husband to low carbing.  So far he loves the recipes that I cook!  I talked to a friend I have not seen in several months and she had the lap band surgery, and lost 115 pounds, and says she has to eat 5-6 tiny meals a day.  I really felt sorry for her, because I do NOT starve or eat tiny meals!!!!  The pounds continue to come off and its really not hard.  I don't even think of myself on a diet, just that I can't eat the things that my body does not tolerate well.....HIGH CARBS!!!  Do yourself and your friends a favor and kindly introduce them to low carbing, they will thank you for it as their weigh falls off!!!!
I will try to take more pics of the new recipes that I try as I go along.  
Here I am 59 working, losing weight, and back in school!!!!!  Wow is that me?  I wonder sometimes, because for a while I was just settling for growing old and letting my dreams pass me by.....No more!!!!!  I am convinced now that I can do it all!!!!
