Hi

I just started this agaaaaaaaain on the 3rd. Been here before, last time I was about 215 when I started. I was down to 173, but fiance and I love to eat together, especially chinese and chocolate.

I'm here to stay darnit!! I am mighty encouraged because I've lost 5 lbs. already. Have the Atkins flu mildly, and have been drinking the right amount of water this time.

I feel pretty good though.

Well welcome back and use some glue this time to make sure you don't fall off the wagon.

Woo hoo on the 5 lbs and the water.

welcome back

Welcome. We're very happy you are back. Hold on tight - the ride gets bumpy at times, but it is definitely worth the effort!!

I really hope that I stay long enough to get to know all of you. I think what I was missing before was the support of others. My boyfriend is great, and encouraging, but he's naturally thin, so he doesn't understand like you guys would.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Welcome!!!

Chocolate and Chinese...two of the foods I eat the most of.

It's my second time doing Atkins and when I did it in the past, I succeeded while enjoying Chinese food. So you don't have to give up what you like, here are some Chinese dishes that I suggest on induction:

At Dim Sum restaurants,
Spare ribs with black beans (they don't use much sugar in this dish)
Deep Fried shrimp (just remove the shell because that's where the breading is)
Steamed Gai Lan vegetables (equivalent to brocolli, but Chinese style)

Best of luck!
