Is anyone interested in a low carb challenge? Basically a commitment to each other to be good, be as low-carb as possible & drink all our water? I need to do this SO BAD because I was HORRIBLE this weekend....
Any takers?

Ok last night I fired up the grill... made DELISH Moroccan chicken and grilled eggplant.... I also had a cucumber and tomato salad.. YUM
So far this morning I have eaten 1/2 c watermelon and 2 hard boiled eggs....
I also bought that Phase 2 bean extract that's supposed to eat your carbs b/f they are converted to sugar and raise your insulin- we'll see.

Welcome to the low-carb group!
You can get the Atkins bars at Trader Joe's, Walgreens, many health food stores and www.atkinscenter.com also provides the locations for stores that carry the items.
The Smores is the best, my FH also really likes the chocolate peanut butter ones.
Today: Breakfast: Think thin low carb brownie crunch lite bar WATER!!!
Lunch: brisket and creamed spinach more WATER
Snacks: peach AND Wasa crackers--- PMS needed munchies!!!
Not sure what dinner will be maybe sausages??
