Hi Lori and the rest (hopefully) of the low carb gang! I have been MIA due to my recent induction routine. I had to get back to the basics again. With 70 lbs to go I had to stay out of the Low carb stores. They are for maintence or "slow losing." I am blessed that I have 3 co-workers now doing Atkins. We had a potluck last week and we all colaborated and brought "legal" foods. I have lost 5 lbs since my last posting. OOps, I need to update my profile. Low carb stores are popping up all over the place. THEY HAVE FINALLY CAUGHT ON!!! Clackamas, by Town Center - Sweet tomatoes on 82 ave. And Toms' in Gladstone is advertising Low Carb. Who had heard of others??? I wish you all luck, Health and Happiness.

Jules

Hi moonpie,

I have to stay out of the low carb stores as well. Everything there is a legal treat and I have no skill for portion control! My serving size is the package size - lol!

It is great to have people at work to help with the support. I hve several at work and several around the house as well. I am sharing recipes and cookbooks with people all the time. I do much better on the WOE when I cook things myself.

Good thoughts to you and good luck on your journey! I have about the same amount of weight to lose and I know what you are going through. I restarted induction this week and I am just having trouble getting all of my water in. Once that is under control, I will move to the next step.

Talk to you soon

Lori

Cool hey everyone

I'm in good old Northeast Portland by Providence Hospital. Love it here. My kids go to Grant H.S.

the weather is starting to turn, more sun, more often. i love oregon summers. the coast is my favorite place.

i've been to the lo-carb store on SE 39th ave between Hawthorne and Division and i found that it's a haven for sugar alcohols and maltodextrin. i did find some Keto products that i wanted though. And the prices are way too high. My girlfriend and I walked out talking about how much money they must be making there. It's a tiny store and there were about ten people in there. as i stood in line i was trying to guesstimate the average receipt and i think it came out to about forty dollars.

(anyways no offense meant to anyone who works there but it seemed outrageous)

i tend to do a lot of cooking. i don't even try to convert my kids. it's hard enough for them to understand why i quit stocking the refrigerator with coke. i do keep diet rite and diet dr pepper which is what they have to drink if they want pop in my house.

anyways, if anyone knows of any local support groups please list them in this thread...i'd be willing to check them out.

That Hayden's restaurant has daily Atkins specials including desserts! I love their steak tips topped with crab meat and bearnaise sauce, accompanied by roasted asparagus - all only 7 g carbs! And they make something called Swedish Creme (I think) that is similar to Panna Cotta. Very good. Kind of spendy though. Once a week is just fine with me to eat there.

There is also a LC store in Lake Oswego, right off I5. I think it's called The Low Carb Market. They have great homemade icecream and milkshakes (6 g carbs per 12 oz).

Thanks Atiaran... I haven't been in Haydens for a long time just saw the advertisment on their sign. But after reading this we will make a reservation soon!!! What a treat .. I'll check the L.O. low carb store too. We live in Sherwood so it's close. Have a great week all !

Thanks for the Haydens info want2loose & atiaran. My Company will be re-locating from Clackamas to Tigard in 3 weeks. We have more Atkins converts in the office now after seeing the success of the 3 amegos. Collectively we have lost 65 pounds since Jan 03. The man in the group seems to have done the best so far ( duh-go-figure), even eating those low carb stall bars.
Last week my best Atkins buddy made me some low carb fudge for my b-day. It was delicious and everyone who tasted it was impressed. I went a little, well...big time carb blow out at the coast for my b-day. I did find something out after eating hash browns, a cheese burger, cobbler and rolls. After 3 + months I had turned the thought of a potato into something so wonderful and delicious that when I actually ate these "forbidden" foods they actually did not taste as good as the expectation. The fantasy is now gone. Gained 5 lbs..I said I had a big to do. DH and I could not get over the bloatedness and the gas. How romantic was that! Moral: expectations are just that! Nothing tastes as good as feeling thinner feels. Jules

Well I have to tell you Moonpie after hearing your blow out and not truly enjoying that forbidden blast from the past was a big help to me.. But I must admit I'd like to hear the lo-carb fudge recipe

Welcome Orygun Girl.. Do you have a Fred Meyers in Roseburg? I read the other day they will have a full section for Lo/Carb by the end of May.. so that might be your ticket.. Also I know that Vitamin World has a nice selection of Atkins product plus that's where I bought my Whey Protein drink..
