Hey - here's a great article on a gal who lost 138lbs on Atkins! WHOO HOO! and the photo even shows her with steak AND BROCCOLI.

That was a great article.
How refreshing to read something about low carb that is both positive and well-informed. At last, someone stating that we actually eat veggies and fish and chicken.
I give that woman a lot of credit for what she's accomplished and for making her life better HER way.

That was a wonderful article. Thanks for sharing it.

I read that in my paper this AM. Very good stuff.

I did find it interesting that there was an estimate of 80% of the people not getting great results because they don't do it right. Now when you consider the success folks are having as it is, think of how great it would be if that 80% would take the time to do it right.

Well written and from a very positive perspective, which is quite refreshing. Thanks for sharing, Andrea.

Thanks for sharing that great article.

I was really inspired by that and alot of the before and after pictures I see on the site.
I just started the program 1wk and 2 day ago, and I've lost 5lbs. Does anyone have any great ideas for me?

Welcome, Tha-tha! Doesn't sound like you need any "great" ideas - just keep on doing what you're doing!!!

I still found this statement in one of the little boxes at the end of the story to be annoying. I honestly don't thing I'm getting much more protein than I did before I started Atkins and 4-5 servings of veg and fruit aren't what I'd call minimal.

Thanks Andrea...it was well written and hopefully an encouragement to any considering a surgical solution! I also loved how the broccoli was in the foreground and just as large or larger than the steak!!!!!!!!!
