Well, I'll quit going on now. I hope I haven't gotten on a soapbox for too long. I've noticed that you all don't talk about your WOE all that often, so maybe you prefer not to. At the other site where I interact, we always have a topic of the day - or more - for discussion that involves our eating plan - and then we all keep personal journal in which to interact about our individual lives.
Have a wonderful day all! It's been such beautiful weather here that I can't believe we're in Nebraska!!

Good Morning CB!!
Thank you for the encouragement and tips! ACTUALLY, the "tweaking" Atkins is what I've been doing the last few months and yep, exactly - I was always thinking about food and being hungry. I HOPE to get back to strick Atkins induction. When I did it the 1st time, that even meant no gum, no coffee or tea for me. I'm trying to do the no gum again. I chew it constantly at work. So far this a.m. I've gone without! I'm cutting my coffee back to my 2 mugs in early a.m. and changing my break time drink to a "slimming tea". I happened to have a very fatty thick cut bacon in my freezer, which is what I've been having 2 slices of with 3 eggs in the a.m. Yesterday that kept me full until about 11, at which time I gave in and had yogurt & cheese. Maybe today I'll try one of the dexi-trim max and cheese. Ooooh, although I'm thinking cheese isn't on Induction is it? I really need to go back and study the Induction guidelines again. It's been so long since I've done it to the letter.
I hope to do a bunch of cooking this weekend to freeze up some things to bring for lunch and to have ready for evenings. I SO hate to cook, and being alone, I tend to "just eat a bite" of summer sausage and cheese, oh then a little later it will be "just a bite" of nuts, etc - you get the idea - I "just a bite" all night long. I know I need to set a "meal" time and eat and decide that's it.
CB, any food and/or recipe tips you have, I'd really appreciate hearing about. I would like to know more about what you eat to stay ZC. I do think it's really the only way for me to go.
UGH! The REALLY BAD NEWS is that when I weighed yesterday, I had gained the 5 lbs I recently though I lost back. So here I am doing the yo-yo thing. On, off, on again. So new goal is: Strict Induction level for November and loose 10 pounds. (Since that will just put me where I had thought I would be with the original goal).
I'm still thinking real hard about getting one of those rebounder things. Problem is I really don't have the $100 to part with, and I have pretty much decided I would more likely use it if I got the higher priced one with the bar in front. I'd feel safer.
Ok, off to the recipe section here to see what I can find.
Thanks again CB.
