Jim,aren't you supposed to introduce some carbs back into this diet?

I am but I'm limiting it to green veggies for now, I'm feeling like a new man and I'm down a good 20+ lbs...

My sister said try and get to 200 but I'll stop at 225-230 and be very happy, I have a large frame...

Big feller myself,and Adkins believer.You really have to be careful,don't be like me and abuse it by going on and off it whenever it suits ya.The diet just about cures some pains and I get an energy kick after the first three weeks.Somehow ,Hostess and Little Debbie ambushes me 6 months into it[8D]Sounds like you have more willpower than me tho.

I have a very addictive personality Robert, whether it's Booze, Bottles, Gambling or anything else. So it's actually easy for me to stick with something, at least this time it'll be a healthy Vice....LOL[]

My weight loss program starts in about 2 1/2 weeks, even if I don't need to lose weight. It is called "lambing out 171 ewes". It happens every year about this time. And I always lose what ever I gained over the winter. Such is life.
