To my low carb girls that want to start anew today!

WE CAN DO IT!!!!

So far today I've had coffee with skim milk & equal.

I have a sugar free yogurt in the fridge, ,but I'm not ready for that yet.

How's everyone else's day!

Can I join you??

I started this morning also (again )

I had some 2% cheese for breakfast and have some left over steak in the fridge for lunch.

Good luck to everyone

I have Fat Free milk in a small coffee w/ my splenda
I love splenda!

I make my own: plain yogurt, splenda and some berries- it's good.

I didn't eat it today though- wrapped up in a meeting.

I did have lunch: salad with lettuce, ham, a little bacon, and some cheese

yum

sorry but I had to wake up with a diet coke. For breakfast, I had scrambled egg whites with 2 pieces of canadian bacon and low fat cheese.

on to forcing myself to drink some h2o!

today so far coffee and a low fat string cheese.

for lunch- tuna salad w. 2 slices cheddar! YUM

im with ya girls... started last thurs.. cheated on sat a bit.
question... tomatos & cucumbers... are they high in carbs? i know some veggies are and some aren't. thinking of getting a salad for lunch... with chicken.

Cucumbers do not have carbs.

tomatoes have *some* carbs- but one or two pieces won't kill ya!

why thank ya sassy! off to get my salad now that my question has been answered! thanks for the quick response.. now i can eat!!!!

Stillon low-carb. I'm glad you started the thread again.

Today, black coffee. Just no desire for breakfast- pre wedding nerves at this point. For lunch I'm having chicken and artichokes.

i'm starting again today, yesterday i did bad.

breakfast i had turkey and swiss rollups

lunch- hamburger with cheddar cheese

I had an apple for breakfast and a coffee with fat-free non dairy creamer.
lunch was a chef salad with lemon juice and salt and pepper....but now I'm hungry again and I have class tonight right after work,so I won't be home until 10pm! I work 8-5 and then have class 6-10....
so i went to the cafeteria to look for healthy food and came back with a nutri-grain bar and a bag of baked lays! HEEEEEEEEELP!

Neesipie, I keep a desk drawer at work fill with low carb snacks and herbal teas. It helps to have something convenient when you need a boost!

Another morning with per-wedding nerves:

So far today: black coffee, water, 1 Wasa fiber cracker with all natural/no-sugar added peanut butter

more water



to all

Ok... I am in too! I started last Monday and did very well for about 4 days. The weekends are a problem for me though.

I do have some advice...

Ask your Fiance to help:
I talked to my fiance about the no carb thing (he does it naturally) and he helps me out alot. When we go out to eat, he rejects the bread basket for me. This way I am not even tempted. He does not think that I need to lose a pound, he just knows how important it is to me to lose a little weight. He never says a word if I cheat.

Alcohol:
If you indulge in any alcoholic beverages, chances are they have carbs. Try Crystal Light lemonade and vodka. On the rocks or put some in a blender with ice and you have a frozen drink!

When ordering your entree:
Tell them to hold the potatoes! If it is not on the plate, then you can't eat them.

If you are hungry, drink a cup of herbal tea first. It will keep you busy and fill you up a little. I am doing it right now!

Eggs and Bacon:
If you are like me, the thought of eating real bacon all the time does not sit well. Try Louis Rich turkey bacon. It is Yummy!
Also, if you are making eggs for you and your man and he prefers the whole egg... use 2 whole eggs and the whites from two additional eggs. He will never know the difference.

JELLO:
Never underestimate a sugar free JELLO snack pack at 3:00pm. Only 10 calories.

Good luck!

This morning- coffee w. skim & equal.

2 hardboiled eggs....
