Anyone up for a low-carb-a-thon?

[SarahC]

Am I the only one still doing this?

From last Wednesday to today, I am down 4 pounds!

I'm still doing it, but haven't lost an ounce, but I haven't been as low carb as I wanted and yesterday I was having a 'taco' salad at a restaurant and suddenly tasted a bean so I don't know what I did to myself. I forgot to post my meals for a couple days. I can try to catch up - or are we done?

Okay you ladies have me motivated...I am in! 

owensmath what exactly is a pepperoni stick?

I will post my daily food and total tonight.

I like the results I am seeing since I have been very attentive to the carbs, so I am not done. Anybody can jump right in at any time!

Thanks owensmath.  Did you notice the reply to an old post that you started regarding Coconut Oil.  It is in the General Discussion. 

I plan to get some of the pepperoni stick next time at store.  I have Johnsonville Deli Bites original summer sausage  http://www.johnsonville.com/products/original-deli-bites.html
