Thanks everyone for the lovely welcome.
It took me several years to lose the 140 pounds. It also took me several years to gain it.
Living way up in the North, it is very difficult to grow any veggies but we do grow some. We are just starting to plant out tomatoes as well as other veggies. We had a severe frost just a few days ago.
Frozen veggies are just about the only solution, but one gets fed up with that awfully fast. Nothing replaces fresh !!!
As far as meat goes, we don't eat any beef or pork at all. Mostly chicken and fish. I BBQ an awful lot.
When I say we, I mean my wife as well. She is also on "Atkins" as well. There is only the 2 of us which makes it easier for cooking. I do all the cooking.
When I say we live up north, we live way on top of Lake Huron in a small village of just under 1000. We are about 30 minutes from a decent town that has all kinds of food.
Someone asked for tips. DRINK LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER EACH AND EVERY DAY.

That's it for now. I only come on here in the evenings.
