:roll: It's great to meet another female that has the same type beginning, height and weight and all,

What are you eating for a typical breakfast, lunch dinner if you dont mind me asking so I can get some better ideas?

And great pic! I love reading these, they are very inspiring as I am starting just this week (Monday)

I love hearing that people have been losing weight on this diet.
I get a bit discouraged with little variety though,

Keep up the great work! And nice to meet ya

Hi Rochelle

Welcome to the forum. You are doing great. Well done.

I know those pounds lost will mean a lot to you. They certainly do to me, and I'm 7 inches shorter than you!!

Why not start a journal, see sticky at the top of the page, to keep track of your progress. It will be great to look back on in the months to come and will enable others to offer you advice, if you need it.

May the pounds continue to melt away.

Celeste ~ Here is a basic list of what I am eating on a regular basis:

Breakfast ~ Bacon and Eggs or
Bacon and Cottage Cheese or
Sausage and Eggs(NO CARB SAUSAGE) or
A Variety of Omlettes

Lunch ~ Garden Salad w/ Bleu Cheese and
(2) Chicken Breasts or
A Cobb Salad or
Tuna w/ mayonaisse and celery or
The inside of a Carne Asada Burrito
(I live in Southern California and this is a staple of life. It has grilled steak, sour cream, cheese and guacamole. Usually they come with a chunky salsa on them, but I don't get that.)

Dinner ~ Steak and a salad or
Porkchops and cauliflower
with cheese sauce or
Lobster w/ lots of butter
and ceasar salad

Snacks ~ Deviled Eggs
Pork Rinds
Sugar Free Jello
String Cheese

Beverages ~ Water, water and more water
Diet Rite Soda when I need one
Decaf coffee w/ Splenda (1 cup a day)


This is just an example. There is so much out there to choose from. The Dr. Atkins cookbook is good for ideas for variety. And most of the low carb sites have good recepies too. Good luck to you! I hope this maybe helped. Keep in touch!
