Just wondering how many Kiwis we have frequenting these forums of late. I've been here for a year and a half but all my Kiwi buddies have fallen by the wayside...who else wants to play???

I would like to....if you'll have me. I apologise, and you know what for. What I said was wrong, I'm sorry.

aww kiesha thanx for that - shouldn't have got my nose outa joint so easily...nuff said.

Hi I will as well, im just about finished my 2nd week of in duction and must say this getting easier.

The more help the better

hi showtime and congrats at getting through the first two weeks. when you have time it helps to start a journal on this forum to keep track of your progress. journals are also a great way to give and receive support. (or if you're like me...just an excuse to talk to yourself... )

HI again, Yes my last day of induction is sunday!!!!! and ive lost 6lb so far which im really happy with. on your stats it says you are doing atkins(kind of) what do you mean by kind of, and as far as the journel goes how do you do it....sorry am new to this.

Also i dont know about you but i cant find LC foods in NZ like they get in the states, ie atkins bars bread etc etc , do you of any go places to try.

anyway thanks for your time and have a good weekend

Thats much appreciated, i must have a look at the shell shops for that choc its sounds good. i am now past the induction but am going to stick as much as possible to 20 carbs a day so i dont run into troubles, ive been drinking spirts on occasion as they have 0 carbs with diet caffine free coke. im like you i have decaff with cream and lots of steak eggs mushrooms and aspargrass, w/w jelly and cream and the occasional small amount of peanuts.

Ans about those atkins bars etc you would think being made by them they would be true to label!

anyway
thanks again

I don't know where you live in N.Z. But i have seen the Atkins products at the New World supermarket in Ponsonby,Auckland.
I confess to not buying any..as i thought the prices a little steep.Instead i have trawled through heaps of "low carb" recipe sites and found a variety of recipes for protein bars and other goodies...that way, when the sweet tooth strikes i can have a safe treat {and cheaper!}
You can also purchase the Da Vinci sugar free syrups {if anyone is interested}at the Coffee Creation shop at Glenfield Mall on the North Shore.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for that but i live in nelson and theres not much here to choose from! might have to resort to the net.
