That is GREAT! I carry a backpack purse and my iPad will fit into it also. I love having it with me when I'm out and about. I have Lose It on my iPhone so when I'm at a restaurant, I can look up things also. It really helps.

What kind of purse, Janet? Did you get a Vera Bradley?

If you watch calories, and spread it out over a week, you can make up for those extra pizza calories more or less over 7 days, Janet.

Gina, I was eating honey roasted cashews by the handful, until I read the Caloric content! Sad!!!

My summer friends are up for the summer! I didn't realize it was so late im June! I am so glad they are here. Now, I have to work in seeing Jessie and enjoying being with my friends. She is very understanding, and knows that I love the pool and wait for summer all year, but she isn't feeling well. I didn't go to her yesterday because all of them had a sore throat kind of thing.

She has not been feeling well from her MS for about 4 months now. She is tired, has pain, has been dropping things, and her cognition (which I don't mention to her) has been off. I am praying that it passes quickly.

Send her your prayers please.

Judy, I'm sorry that Jessie's MS is flaring up again. I'll be praying for her. That has to be so difficult to watch as her mother.

I've been doing really good with my Atkins but still I'm not seeing any progress!! Hopefully it's just going to take awhile to get going!! Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!

My blood sugar is still high but I'm having a few low ones too. You'd think that with very few carbs that my blood sugar would be very low!! Oh well.....the doctor will be checking it all out next week.

Thanks Diana! It is very hard to watch because we don't know if this is just a flare up, or if it won't go away this time. MS seems to have its' own mind! She has bounced back from other flare ups, but there is no guarantee. If I think about it, I get so scared. I cannot imagine how she feels!

I think you need to take a week or so to see some weight change on the Adkins. It sounds good that your sugar has gone down at times!

MS is a very unpredictable disease, it advances a lot in some people and not so much in others. The uncertainty must be maddening.

I didn't use all my calories today....after I went to the Dr., got my meds...I slept all afternoon and evening. I thought I'd check here before I conk out for the night. He put me on Flexeril and Prednisone. Hopefully it will work...I've taken one dose of each and so far nothing has changed...just very sleepy. It takes time.

I was suppose to go to the eye dr. at Wal Mart but had to cancel because of the drugs. Thought it best if I wait another week or two.

I'm sorry Jessie hasn't been feeling well...of course I'll keep her in my prayers. It has to be hard for you watching your daughter suffer at times. It would be scary wondering if it was a flare up or worse.

The purse I got was from Target....I love Vera Bradley, but just wanted a change. I ended up buying two purses...lol. They have such a big selection at the store in Lafayette.

Diana, if I remember right it was slow going the first week and then bam!!! The weight started falling off when I was on South Beach Diet. It's similiar to Atkins. I'm able to lose weight easily and fast at first....I always feel so good about it, but my plateaus are long and tedious and then I lose the ambition. So I end up gaining it all back plus.
