Happy Friday Everyone!

I am wrapping up my day here on the east coast while you west coast people are enjoying your late afternoon.

Today was a really odd day for me.  Our temps got up to the mid 80's and beautifully sunny.  But I have felt down and nauseous for most of the afternoon.  Smells especially bothered me today.

I sometimes miss the light dredging in flour for that crispy coating when baking or frying.  With this mix I can get that coating with just 1.5g net carbs per serving. 

If you try this please give me your feed back and any improvements you come up with.  No offense taken if its not to your liking and/ or you come up with something better.

I had lap-band surgery in August of 2010.  I have lost approximately 40lbs (I say approximately cause I fluctuate about 3lbs daily).  Anyway, I have stalled on my weight loss and I know it is because I have not been following a proper eating plan.  I have recently decided the try the Atkins diet, so I am beyond excited to have found this group today!  I have a few friends at work that recently started this diet and they have been incredibly successful.  So, I am looking forward to continuing my WLS journey, hopefully with continued weight loss!

I weigh myself every time I find myself naked.  In the morning before I eat or drink anything, when I get home from work, and before I go to bed.   I just recently got into this habit.  I really need to ride herd on myself and it really helps me, but it ****** me when I don't lose for weeks!!

Thanks for the encouragement.  You look great in you pic, and happy!
