Success! Turkey, and none of the "fixings" other than a tiny bit of gravy. (just so the turkey wouldn't be quite so dry). I left there not feeling like I normally do after a meal at my mother in law's house. I had green beans, green salad with tomatoes, avocados, ham, boiled eggs, lettuce and sprouts. For desert I had strawberries with splenda syrup and cream. I had diet A and W root beer. And I feel good. I resisted all the goodies, and all the stuffing and all the potatoes and cranberries and yams.

I'm probably out of ketosis because of the strawberries, but I expect to have it back in a day or two and not much longer. So I feel really really proud of myself right now.

Good Morning,

Chris hope your feeling better today (the flu is here too :( )

Kim YOU ROCK !!!! Congrats on being OP during a difficult holiday and congrats on 146 :hug:

Sherry & Aud WTG :bravo: on your successful day yesterday.

Kel, welcome back.

Brenda :hug: luv ya girl.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone ;)

Hello there.....would someone please tell me......what are revolution rolls, and carb count? Thought i'd jump in and ask, hope you don't mind :-)
Trying to cut down on as many bad carbs as possible.
I visited Lindas Low Carb site that someone mentioned here.....very impressive.
I love reading what you all say here about LC'ing.
Hope you don't mind that I just popped in unannounced :-)
Have a few more questions, but want to make sure it's ok with all of you.

Revolution Rolls
 

Thank You!
 

Thanks so much for your kind words Leenie!:hug:

Thanks for the recipe Kim, I didn't know how to make these, so usually just don't eat any bread. I'm definitely going to try these. Big congrat's on the wt. loss.

I'm glad Thanksgiving is done. We had 2 lg. dinners to attend yesterday. I didn't do too awfully bad, but wasn't perfect. I refused leftovers and am on plan again with lots of walking in my forecast. My family tried to push desserts on me, but I held my willpower.

We're going deer hunting this weekend.

We have another grandbaby on the way. Our 2nd oldest step-daughter is due a baby in June. This was announced last night. Her and her DH just got married in July and are very excited.

Hi L.J. , feel free to ask any questions. You're welcome to come here any time.

Thanks Lily!!
 

WTG ALL!:)

I've been all over the map with this diet and have found that on one hand, I can get anal too LJ . . . but on the other hand, it's easy to slip out of ketosis if you don't watch pretty carefully, you know? I can tell when I'm in ketosis/a fat burning machine by how dry my mouth is - and if I'm not in ketosis and thinking "Oh, I can eat a bunch of this 'cause its LC" is where I get in trouble and GAIN weight. The way I do Atkins is really the high fat way and high calorie - so this time around I'm gonna lean toward the super carb counting way until I get the BULK of this weight off.:)

Anything "white" tends to lead to carb binge eating for me but if I ever get a grip, would love to try those rolls! When we get back from the Hotel, can't wait to see the recipes on Linda's LC. I'm taking a small cooler with plenty of turkey and mayo . . . leftover green beans and the small amount of LC Pumpkin Pudding/SF Whipped Cream that's left in case I get the munchies - which I do late at night when the 1st shift world is snoring and I have the 2nd shift wide awakes!

CYA All soon - and careful with those leftovers!:)

I did it, I had a LC Thanksgiving. I had turkey, dill green beans, and a little plain fried eggplant; my aunt made breaded eggplant and I asked her to do two for me with out the breading. For dessert I had SF Jello with cream on it. I was so proud, thank you everyone for your support.

Today I also found out my mom is getting married and she asked me to stand up for her! I really need to stay on this same track; I want to look great for the wedding.

WTG to everyone who made it through, I know it was hard and those who did not, It’ll be easy to start it up again.

I’m going to try making those rolls this weekend, are they safe for the induction Phase? Thanks for the recipe!

I made the revolution rolls this afternoon and mine turned out very flat. I used them like pancakes instead. LOL. Tasted good anyway. I am definitely on program again. Does anyone know if these rolls can be made in a muffin pan to make them thicker? I bought heavy whipping cream that has 0 carbs to use as my coffee creamer. This will help trim more carbs, I drink a lot of coffee.
My DD and DH are putting up the Christmas tree. Moved it to the living room from the formal dining room. We sure have a lot of gifts to wrap.

Good Saturday Morning Ladies:)


Well the countdown is started in 24 hrs from now, we'll be in the plane heading for our Hawaiian Cruise. So much to do,and still no time to get every done. DH is going to the dump and get all our garage disposed of .While I going to get my iron out and press the last minute pant suits,before going into the suitcase.

Called my gastroenterolist yesterday and he told me to take 1 tb of Medamucil per day or 3 ts 3 x's a day and that should relieve the bloating.Well this morning it worked and I'm down 1 lb. on the scale.Big deal as the scale is still higher than what my tracker reads.

My last meals at home

b-3 Atkins Revolution Rolls made into cream cheese danish,1/2 c soy milk.

l-L/C 4 cheese chicken,with veggies,lg salad with dress.

d-Pot Luck[left over turkey breast will all the trimmings]

So long and I'll see you in to weeks. STAY LOW CARBING.

Hugs :) BB

Cream Cheese Muffins (Induction Friendly)
 

Thanks Kim, I will try these muffins today. I am a great cook at fixing regular meats, casseroles, mexican foods and italian foods and such. But, I have never had a knack for baking. My idea of a cake or pie or cookie comes from a box. LOL. Thanks so much for the new food ideas. Eating eggs and sausage every morning gets real OLD after 16 months. LOL
