You really passed a big challenge on this one.  

Be proud of yourself! You put your health first!! You are worth it! 

This is my first post.I too made it through Easter and had a 1 lb loss today. It has been a long journey for me doing one plan after another. I started 2 years ago at 275.8 lbs and today I am 240 and I feel I finally have found one I believe I can live with for the rest of my life 72 Atkins WOE. I am still learning to navigate this site. I want to change my diet from my own to Atkins or LC but can't figure out how to do it? Any advice? Congratulations Rose on making it through Easter too!We went out and I ate a BIG Porterhouse steak with a side salad.Removed the croutons & carrots and had the dressing on the side.I dipped the fork prongs into the dressing then took some lattuce and ate it that way.It worked really well for me.I think I have discovered a new good habit. 

Way to go Berta48! I don't remember how to change the diet you're on but someone here should. I think it should be in My Toolbox. (Under My messages) it should have an option in there to change it. If I remember correctly. Steak! I love steak and I'm getting ready to make a small one now. Hubby is doing dragon boats until late (work thing) and I usually eat a little later on days he has practice. 

Hello Rose Thanks for chatting with me. Are you doing Atkins 72? HOw has it been for you and your lifestyle? I am enjoying it so far. I live in MO married with one daughter and one grandson.My husband and I have been married for 17 yrs in Aug. He is my best friend.He supposrt me though I know he gets tired of my changing diets. But never says anything just supports me. 

Anytime for chatting! I'm on Atkins not the new "improved" atkins but not quite 72 atkins. Somewhere in between. I've been married for almost 18 years but sometimes he just aggravates me. (I'm a little mad at him right now if you can't tell) He's supposed to be doing this with me but really isn't.  

I understand.MY DH eats whatever in front ofme but I actually am not bothered by it MUCH anymore.I jsut grab whtever I am allowed and eat it. He eneeds to loose weight too but never does.Have you tried the pizza crust from ALmond flour or caluiflower or made a crust with cheese? The cheese one is realy very good. 

I make pizza with a cauliflower crust and coconut flour. It tastes pretty good but it still doesn't make me like pizza. 

You don't like pizza? I thought you were mad at hubby for eating pizza in front of you? OR did I read that on someone elses post? LOL 

I'm mad at him for buying it and then trying to throw out veggies to make it fit in the freezer. I'm not a big fan of pizza except for really good fresh made pizza like I used to have in Jersey. The kind when you bite into it the oil drips down your arm. That's yummy, frozen pizza that's made cheaply isn't good. Plus he always gets pepperoni, he's the only one who likes it. My son and I pick it off before it hits the oven. (when I bother eating it). I've only found two places around here that make really good pizza and I might have it every 3 months or so. 

BTW I like pepperoni slices but not cooked on a pizza. It upsets my tummy that way and I don't know why.
