Together is very good...but please don't compete. Every body is different. Enjoy your new lifestyle, and visit here often.

Well, well who would have thought that so many people would welcome us? Cool !
Our guess is that the only solution is to to it together. I tried to loose weight las t year and it worked, I lost 20 KG from December 2004 to March 2005 but then I put 10 back on.

Reason 1 was that I didn't do "Atkins" by the book, but by my own idea... Result 1 was that I never got zo do any maintenance, I just switched back to the old habits and bang half of what I lost was back.

Reason 2 was that Corazon didn't "do it with me" , that raised temptation... We eat very healthy food, and we both cook very well and with much pleasure, I spare you the rest :D .

bkloots: Thank you very much for the really sensible advice. But don't worry we aint competing. I am MUCH bigger than Corazon and I loose weight real fast when trying to do it. she is not much overweight and she looses slowly. One can only compare apples with apples as we say here... This means we are NOT competing but supporting eachother.

Yesterday we ate Salmon, Cod and Shrimps with a salad for lunch and each half a steack, a chicken leg and 1 cup (american measure) of cabbage (3.8g/c) each for dinner. For breakfast we had "Meatbread" (Minced meat backed in the oven filled with Mozarella) and an egg sunny side up. We drank about 3 Liters of water each.

Today We both feel quite well.

Yo, thanks again for the warm welcome.

Guillaume and Corazon
