Hi Ian, Just read your post here and had to reply. I just got my daughter who is 15 and about 50# overweight to join me on this woe. It's kind of hard since brother, sister and dad eat what they want. Yesterday, I attempted a frittita? w/ cream cheese/cream/cinnamon/splenda filling for Breakfast. She said it was okay. This morning we just had an old ham & cheese omelet. I need to find healthy "fun" alternatives to eggs. She eats a regular lunch at school w/ friends and has Atkin's woe when she has dinner. Tonight was meatballs with mustard-yum?, spinach salad & green beans. Anyway, it's work, but I hope and pray we both stay consistent and see a victory at the end of this road. Good Luck!
