I am a wife, mother, and a small business owner. I work my hours around my son's school day and work most weekends. I live close to Busch Gardens and go there usually once a week with my son. (More when I have family from out of town) I do accept buddy requests as long as you are on atkins or another low carb diet.

Favorite Supermarket?
I love Publix. I was there tonight picking up my free antibiotics (paid for the ear drops script) and did some shopping for dinner. Their greenwise section is a little like whole foods but the prices don't kill me (quite as much). I don't usually buy my meats there because of the prices but otherwise that's my store. (Sweetbay for meats because of the mark down prices they always seem to have) I found that when I tried wal-mart grocery store my total was higher than Publix. I just shop the sales well.

Help! No weight loss during week 2 of Induction
The atkin's bars and drinks can stall a lot of people. Some people can handle sugar alcohols and some can't. I find that when I eat them I stall. When I stop them I lose weight. Try cutting them out and see what happens.

Pills that make you put on weight?
Some do cause weight gain, some weight loss. When I took welbutrin to quit smoking the first time I lost weight (a lot) the next time it was a generic version and I packed on the pounds (among other things) until I switched to the name brand one. (I gained 80 pounds when quitting in no small part to the generic versions - I tried 4 different ones before my insurance would pay for the name brand and only for a short time) If you gain weight try switching the manufacturer of the pill you are taking, some are worse than others. I just called all the pharmacies in my area and found out who stocked different manufacturers.

What was your turning point?
My turning point was my son's class trip to Epcot. They have a video game that puts you in the game. They take a video of you running, jumping, and dancing to do it. I saw myself and almost cried. I did not realize how big I had gotten. I will lose the weight but I'm keeping a link to that game as motivation.

Small jump in weight. No biggie I hope. Way too much medicine being taken right now so that may be it.
