I stumbled upon this site and find myself back reading and looking for info, so I signed up and here I am.
My husband and I did atkins a year or two ago, did really well for over a year, went on a cruise and came home and disembarked into the carb feild, darn it, we gained all but 10 pounds each back...we had both lost close to 50 pounds before that cruise and did really well. Well back then there were more products to make the ease of eatting this way...a lot easier, bread products, pita's etc...more bars and so forth, now we have to hunt for them...and there are no more breads like we bought, they quit making them...so January 2006 we started again, I have lost over ten pounds and my husband 13 since Jan 2. We do realize we need to be aware "always" of what we are eatting and not fall into that darn carb field again.
I am looking for the supplies to create some of the breads and I am somewhat confused on names some are called vs what I see in the store.
Like flax...is there something besides flax seed?? I found flax seed, but not flax...so I am here to ask, also will look into the what gluten flour and soy protein flour and almond flour...is it the same as ground almonds I see in some receipes??
as you can see I am full of questions.
thought I would introduce myself...
Kaye is my name...but there was already a Kaye registered...so koregon is my screename also my biz name...I am a glass bead artist.
as far as the weight stats...I filled them out, but I really have never gone by weight for myself, its more on clothing size and how I feel and look. I have always weighed more for my size than say my sister who is the same height...even at my thinnest in high school, I weighed to much by all the charts.
so I just want to wear that size 14 jeans and capri pants in my closet!...happy there, after all I am 45...I have no illusions of being a thin person, never have been, thin thin that is.
