Ah yes Ficks...the book reports....
Atkins = 3 phases
1. Induction
2. Ongoing weight loss
3. Maintainance.
So far am up on phase 1.
No more than 20gm carbs per day most of which come from specified lists of protein and low carb veg.
Now I expect you know this, but I'm confussed about the veg, and how does one measure it exactly. I know it's three cups, but all the veg contain diffo amounts of carb. Do you just take an average or measure each veg type seperately ????
Or am I just being anal and it doesna matter ?

Ok Bridge,
1 - As far as I know the 'induction' is the most imporant part. That is only a few days
2 - After induction keytosis kicks in and weightloss occurs.. you have the choice of trying to stay on induction type dyet or not, depending on how rapidly you want to lose weight (frankly it's shitty so get off it into the salad).
3 - Maintainance is basically keeping carbs at a minimum - obviously no 'white wheat' processed stuff

Um.. more tomoz as am stuffed!
Nighters me loverlies

Morning all!
Great to see you Waveopolous, and i can totally relate to your reason's, when you say you will just drop in now and then. Best wishes for friday night. A gym session just before hand will help relax you, and have you aglowing.........;-)

Ah Ronner's! I am beaming with joy at your post's! Congrat's on day 5. AA will be interesting, and although i imagine different meeting's have diff people, and atmosphere's, etc, no matter what, i reckon you will gain from going there. Good luck.

To the 2 Greek Siren's/Goddesses, best wishes with your nutritional nuances, and carbo caper's.

Have a grand day folk's!

Morning All,
Rags that is a crack up :H
Angel looking forward to chitty chat tonight. Know anything about getting skinny ? Ficks and I are on a mission from God. I wonder about Missy B and Sweaty Betts. They must be up to mischeif I think.Or just have a life.:H
Ronnie. Good on you lovely. ANd it won't hurt to do a sneak and peek at AA or anywhere else you think might help. The more weapons in this particular arsenal the better methinks.
Wavester. If you want this thing to have a fighting chance, you be a PERFECT gentleman on Friday night. Believe me, THAT is what impresses more than anything else. You are a gorgeous bloke. Allow yourself to have what you trully want. You deserve it. Also, now that you've told us , you have to report back.:H Sorry, that's just the way it goes.
Fickle. Thankyou so much lovey. I am putting today aside for the important mission of crafting myself a short and long term plan to beat this craving/see-saw moods thing :H

Well for those who are still reading without falling asleep on their keyboard, I woke up in a shit of a mood this morning, whipping my own arse for isolating myself so much and not engaging with other people. Convinced that eventually I will die alone, one of those that they find 2 months later in a decomposed state with no known links to the outside world, no next of kin, 'rent a crowd' at the funeral to save face.:H
Then my neighbour was standing at the fence with the most divine bunch of flowers to say thanks for some little favours.
Maybe there is a God. She's got a ROOLLY weird sense of humour, but I think she's there.
Right. That's enough of my bollocks. I'm off.
Bridge:H

Aw Bye,
Isn't that beautiful. The flowers.
OMG... I think similar thoughts of being found (dead) by smell!

I almost aspire to be a siren as well as a quiet achiever ....... but think the years (and gravity) are against me. I'll settle for being as wise and completely competent as Tawney!!

Bridge - what a lovely thing to happen! And anyway, we'll all come to your funeral!!

Wavey ...... good to hear you sounding so good. Hope the date goes well on Friday!!

And what you said about sometimes being on here and its affect on drinking ...... that is sort of why I haven't been here much this week. Just trying to pretend that I'm normal sometimes helps to keep me AF. I'm struggling though ...... and just telling myself that yes, it is going to be tough for now.

Not helped by the fact that it has been a busy week with a number of embuggerances ........... there have been issues with Mr B's son's mother (ie; Mr B's ex-), car needed massive money spent on it to get WoF, Mum has a nasty chest infection after having been in relatively good health during December, and my brother has been back in the hospice since new year's. His daughter gets married this Saturday (in the US), and I'm sort of thinking that he is hanging out to have that over with.

Lots of rellies arriving from around the world next week ........ thankfully I get to house my sister and one of my favourite nieces with her 6 month old baby.

That makes me feel so much better Darling, thankyou :H

OOoo...there she is !

I don't care what anyone says Missy. You've done bloody well to stay as sober as you have considering the mitigating circumstances. All in good time I say.

Arvo all,

Spent a big part of the day up the cypresses with trusty bow saw and pulled out the big gun electric reciprocating saw when the going got tough. My arms are covered in gashes and scratches and I look like a bloody crash test dummy. Beaut. Going to a very posh wedding on Saturday. Should I wear a cardy?

I'm a dirty stop out & I've double booked myself...I'm off to the movies with my gal pal...gonna see the Lovely Bones. So sorry Bridge...if I cancel on her that wouldn't be nice (we arranged it earlier in the week)

I need a can of EBG+ for the local Baptist minister...although I'm not an active Christian I'm sympathetic to the cause...or was. Mr 3 is all booked in to the Baptist pre-school, we went to orientation day about 3 weeks ago, paid my deposit etc. Then yesterday we get a letter saying the pre-school is closing, sorry for the inconvenience and there you go. WTF??? pre-school spots are like hen's teeth round here and I turned down other spots as I thought we were sorted. And the final straw is that the letter was addressed to MrCakes, who has had absolutely nothing to do with organising the childcare - I'm sorry but 1957 called and it wants it's ridiculous attitude back.
Now I'm going to be the embuggerance for Mr Minister...I think I'll be good at it too.
That is all.

Nah, just wow them with your talk of reciprocating saws...
