One night for dinner we had chicken breast and crumbled bacon on a bed of lettuce with cucumber, radish, red onion, tomato, and olive. Who said you couldn't eat veggies? All of these foods are okay and as long as you keep it under 20 carbs a day, you can splurge and have a little more veggies which I am doing.
For lunch today we had the most delicious meal. I made my own dip with spinach, red onion, tomato, Monterrey jack cheese, and cream cheese. It tasted so good!
I topped about 1/4 cup of the dip on a bed of two scrambled eggs with a slice of ham on the side. Then I had a small serving of sugar free jello. I enjoyed this meal very much and it was completely satisfying in every way.
Tonight I forgot to take a picture of the delicious beef, onion, and bell pepper fajitas we had on a bed of lettuce topped with Monterrey jack cheese. Again, very yummy, and not at all boring.
And the best part is that John is following along--- no problem.

The meals look good but I love your "china" pattern. Tracy
What do you use to count the carbs??
So what are the kids eating while you guys spurge on this great looking food??
Keep it up. 4 pounds that is awesome.
That dip looks awesome. I am trying to lose weight also. I am at 6 pounds and would really like to lose 30 more. You are right, the pounds really add up quickly when we aren't watching. If i had known I would have eaten lots more when I was younger. lol.
Looks good! Love the homemade plates, too!
HI! I've been slack on the blog front lately. Only reading blogs on my iPod because of sickness and lack of time and for some reason your blog crashes my iPod every time. I thought I had better pop in and catch up today.
What a crazy time you have been having lately... Praying for you with everything in your life at the moment and egging you on with that diet! YOU CAN DO IT!
I'd follow along too, if someone would fix it for me!
You make dieting look yummy. My problem isn't diet. My weight never varies much, but I wish there was a 'yummy' way to exercise. It doesn't get any easier as I get older.
You are doing great!
Looks good to me
My favorite food groups are caffeine, carbonation, chocolate, carbs and cholesterol : )
Looks yummy!
I would also be on it if I could eat at your house every day. The meals that you've made for you and John look very yummy.
Congrats on your weight loss!
I know it makes it easier that everyone is on board with you... it won't take long to make your goal. Your food always looks so good!! I am trying to loose weight as well... I have lost 6 pounds so far....I am cutting what I eat in half and eating more slowly drinking only water and walking everyday. It truly is a mindset.
We will all feel better soon!!
correcting a spelling error... loose~ lose.... yes I homeschool(ha ha)
You are a very creative cook.
This is my achillies heel.
Congrats on the 4 pounds!
WOW this all looks great!!!! I wish I were so creative!
If you start craving something sweet while on Atkins, try these babies.....you can find recipes for different versions on Google. I would recommend only using the freezer, not the fridge like the recipe suggests, and do drops about the size of a peppermint candy....the sweetness goes a long way and you really don't need a huge spoonful size. Let me know how you like them!

I love that you've already lost some weight. Not so here. But I just started this morning..
Scambled egg with salsa.
