I need to lose weight, have needed to for years. One of George's friends did the Atkins diet recently and liked it so we decided to try it. I really researched, first, though. I got the Atkins book from the library, looked online for recipes, success stories, etc. and thought it looked realistic for me.
So, since I had a hard time planning my menus with real food my family would eat I decided to start a sister blog to "What I like today". It can be found at http://www.lowcarblynda.blogspot.com/. Over there I'm keeping a food diary, and tracking how many carbs (rough estimates) I think I have had that day. I think it will help me to be able to go back through and find recipes I tried and remember what worked and what didn't. Anyway, if anyone's interested, feel free to check it out. Hopefully someday I'll post my before and after pictures! LOL

About Me
- Lynda
- I am a 30something year old mom and wife living in League City, TX (right in between Houston and Galveston). I work full-time at a pretty demanding job, but I do try to make time for some other things. First off, I love to garden (though it's a lot of trial and error since I moved from Ohio to Texas - I love zone 9 - but takes a lot of getting used to!). I also love to cook, I have started to cook a lot more in the past five years or so, and I love the Food Network. Lots of my recipes (or variations) come from there... Now days I cook low-carb and have lost a lot of weight! I also love vacations, especially cruises and Disney World! Oh yeah, and football. I love football. I'm a huge Ohio State fan, and since the Texans started up in Houston the year we moved here we're quite fond of them, too. Last, but not least, I love my 13 year old son and 14 ear old daughter. THEY'RE SOOOO COOL!

Oh and you can see my new blog at http://tjt.blinkblogs.com/ okay talk to you later!
Lynda, have you ever tried weight watchers? It is incredible all the food you can eat and that there are no "no foods" just choices. I started 2 weeks ago, I've lost 7.2 lbs. and have eaten pizza like 6 times, tacos, omelets, candy a couple times! It is so awesome. I just wanted to share because it becomes a way of life that you can live with and trust me I don't stick with things like diets, as you can tell by my size. Just wanted to let you know, Brian's mom had a friend that lost 117 lbs. doing the Atkins diet and gained it all back plus 30! Whatever you choose good luck!!! I miss "talking" to you!!!
