Good morning all!

Steve is down 14 pounds now! His goal is 175 (from 210). Since he's really only overweight in his abdomen, it's noticeable that it's coming off...his shirts started drooping across his chest first and now his pants are getting loose!

Needless to say, he's thrilled. Eating better than he has in years. He normally just picks up a bunch of danishes or a couple of cheap frozen pizzas and gorges on junk all day. Washes it down with huge cups of coffee with whole milk cutting it in half...with about a quarter cup of sugar in it.

Well, NO MORE! He has cut way down on the coffee, using Splenda to sweeten it and a vanilla Atkins 1g carb shake as creamer. Every night, I cook up his whole menu for the next day. Today it's sauted spinach, big salad, baked pork chops with lemon pepper, celery sticks with garlic cream cheese. Snack includes string cheese sticks, salsa-flavored pork rinds and avocado. Comes out to about 15g carbs. He can have 25 (first week post-induction for those of you that know). But he's coming home tonight, so I'll be able to fix supper.

I'm very busy, but everything is fine.

Morning 2J!

Been up picking up clutter in the house for about an hour. Time to stop for a break! :-)

It's nice and warm here but cloudy and looks like we could get showers sometime today! Nice spring day! Gotta get my lawn mowed though.

Very nice! I am trying to drop a few myself. I always seem to slack off in the winter and I never eat right. I think cutting out the cinnamon roll in the morning and kicking some exercise into gear should do the trick... but I do miss the cinnamon roll... so moist and tasty...

Morning!

Menu sounds good...except that I don't do artificial sweeteners.

Think I'll have some Eastern NC barbecue shipped in for Easter.

Excellent! :) I've been hearing a lot of good results like that from people on Atkins.
