  ((((((((((Amazing)))))))))))

  Thank you for all that you are.

  I will never forget your correspondence with me when I was initially starting to fade and needed help and guidance. It's strange... we hardly know each other, yet you have been like a father figure to me on this board.

  My thoughts are with you for all that you will have to continue to endure and the new challenges in your life, health wise and otherwise. This too shall pass...

  You are thought of and cared about (((((((((Jim))))))))))

  Lots of Love,

  i thought that you might enjoy seeing some pics of our anniversary night out a couple of weeks ago.. this is her ladyship and i at the start of the evening, we're just starting our second bottle of wine, a sprightly sancerre, whilst we await the arrival of our main course in the flute de paris:.

  once we'd finished in the restaurant we went back to our - youve guessed it - local pub, the waverley, already visited by 30 + apostates to date.

  now we're really warming up, and drinks are on the house for us:.

  greetings all texas apostates...i have been guided by the holy spirit (tm) to compile a map locating us in the veritable hotbed of apostacy that texas is...if you would like to be on the map let me know and i'll add you as you request.

  we can't very well let ballistic and our uk counterparts/blokes/blokettes have all the fun now can we?

  we can also squeeze in our brothers and sisters from neighboring staes as well.. .

  Atkins - good or bad?

  by zenpunk in

  1. social
  2. physical

  i keep hearing good and bad about the atkins diet.

  i started it a month ago not really to lose weight, but, i had heard that atkins eliminates sluggishness during the day and insomnia at night.

  what was startling was the amount of energy i gained.

  Thank you for that Liberty!

  I have been on Atkins since about April/May and have lost over 60 pounds. My cholesterol level has dropped and I feel better than I have in a long time. I definitely have more energy, though the first two weeks (as with any change) were tough. Restricting your carbs to 20 grams a weeks should only be done for 2 weeks and should not be done more than that unless your body is really sensitive to carbs. I have slowly increased my carbs and my daily carb intake is usually made up of whole grains, vegetables and nuts. I do not intake any more protein than I would have normally done before, the only thing I've done is eliminated the processed, starchy, refined foods that are the real killers.

  I started exercising about a month after I started on Atkins and now it has become a habit I cannot live without. I exercise 3-5 times a week combining aerobics with weight and strength training. When I miss a day I don't beat myself over it, I just remember to get back on track the rest of the week.

  I am almost at my goal weight and now I allow myself to cheat ever so often (on the weekends for example) moderately taking in a little refined sugar or white flour just so that I don't feel deprived. Instead of eating 4 slices of pizza or more like I used to, I allow myself to have 1 slice, instead of having bags of chips and cookies etc every week, I have 1 cookie once or twice a month and I tell myself that I've gotten what I wanted and that is enough. I monitor myself and don't allow myself to go back to my old ways knowing that if I'm going to get to my goal weight and stay there I must make healthy eating and exercise a way of life.

  Done correctly and combined with exercise and sensibleness, this diet can be a very healthy way of living.

  TH is right though, everyone has find what is right for them The bottom line is to eat healthier and expend more calories through exercise than you take in.

  For those wanting to do the Atkins diet please read the book carefully and completely, you should not restrict yourself to protein completely, that can be very dangerous and is NOT how the diet was intended to be done or should be done.

  BTW Fish oil is good fat that is good to incorporate into any diet. Read up on the benefits.

  Good grief LT! Really glad you came out of that without a scratch, that's unbelievable.

  I guess I'll have to wait for you to post your next thread since you have too many groupies on yahoo to keep up with, you Stud... (you know I'm just giving ya a hard time)

  LT,

  No wonder you never have time to chat with me, look it the long list of groupies you have on yahoo to keep up with! Now I know why you prefer yahoo... I think I will change your forum name to "Stud Muffin"... Soon you may have a big enough fan base to go on tour...hehehe

  Sirona,

  Sure he's kind, caring, considerate, intelligent, spiritual, and the epitome of reason and chivalry.. Though I haven't met him in person he seems darn cute in pictures but there has too be SOMETHING wrong with him... he's too good to be true... *Whispering to Sirona* do what I do... wear your super duper LT mojo energy blocking shield at all times... or pretend you're wearing it... either way don't tell LT.
