I use it daily.  It is great, but if you just starting - use maybe 1 tsp at a time. 
No more than 2-3 Tbs of raw flax meal a day.

planning on pork chops and veggies for dinner

Oh and finally made it to 210 lbs - YIPPEE - been trying for that for a while

1) I have kept the carb things pretty much out of the house xcept for things for Dh lunch,etc. I do all the shopping and we don't have kids so it isn't hard to avoid a lot of it.

Dh wanted to lose a few also so he is ok with whatever I cook. he has said he has been enjoying the variety in our menus as I am always trying out new low carb recipes.

2) I have lost about .5 # but I was able to decarb successfully on my modified plan. some days I go real low and some not so much but the scale is moving in the right direction again,instead of baouncing a couple of pounds back and forth.

3)I definately feel better more like the way I felt the first 6 months post op when I was very well carb cleansed and eating only high fiber carbs,beans,etc and no junk.

4) See # The most time it is an issue is when we go to DD's house. they eat very high carb since they do WW and it is a different thing. I always have "my" food that I bring but it is more temptation and the DGS's eat healthy snacks but they usually aren't on my plan and are a temptation.

DD tries to modify as much as she can but they are picky about what they eat anyway so...(shrug) we do the best we can.

WOW!  So proud of you!  It really is up to whomever is doing the shopping to ensure that carby SHTUFF doesn't make it in the house.  Then, if it does, it is really up to us to avoid it.  I passed on Toll House cookies the other night, but my gosh they smelled so good.

Congrats on your loss of 13 pounds - woo hoo!  I guess we all went to that "anything goes phase" hmmm????

I haven't had a free for all since I started, so I really don't want to try - thank God.  Thankfully I am one of those who after WL surgery I am affected by the bad stuff - bread, potatoes, pasta, and rice - pretty much **** off my pouch.  YEAH!

Also, congrats on changing your family's eating habits and the kids losing weight - FANTASTIC! 

I sometimes still cook something for them and I just eat something else, but sometimes dinner just happens to be low carb - hmm, wonder how that happened.

Saturday 2220...

On Sunday I plan to have:

2 rashers bacon with a scrambled egg
2 Atkins bars
corned beef, mushroom, onion and celery soup
Gammon for Sunday lunch
Ardennes and bacon pate with Ryvita
Coffee and fruit teas.

I'd like to tidy the garage tomorrow...pigs might fly!
In 2 weeks I'll buy a Kindle from Amazon, access to about 500,000 free downloadable books, and will be able to download other books at a considerable saving.  The blurb states that you can keep up to 3500 books in memory at any one time - that's some serious holiday reading!

Have a great Sunday.
