Well, I haven't been able to be as strict as Induction calls for, because we were waiting on our paycheck. However, we will be going shopping this after noon and will be starting our cheat free Induction diet tomorrow morning. I am hoping that we see results quickly, but we won't know how much weight we have lost until we go back to the doctor. He is 45 minutes from here, so it won't be for a while. lol

Anyway, I've also found the book at a garage sale, I am going to be reading it tonight before I go to sleep, well, some of it anyway. lol

I am sorry you haven't lost anything, have you measured? My doctor says you can lose a ton of inches even if the scale doesn't move. Try that?

Welcome and you bet I'll be your buddy!!!!!

Count me in! I've already sent you a lengthy pm.....poor you! I'm known for my long pms.....one day you'll get real tired of them and tell me to stop pming you

Congratulations on making the commitment to get healthy, I'm absolutely thrilled for you! Come here lots, read as much as you can and post as often as you like...we're all in this together and the people on this board are absolutely amazing individuals that truly care about one another.

Just a little update on myself....I am excited to say, as of a couple of days ago I have now lost 200 lbs....it's taken a year and a couple of months to do so but I've finally reached another goal in my journey in becoming healthy and fit.

Keep doing everything you're suppose to do, eat what you're suppose to eat...quantities, proper food choices, stay in the proper food rungs, drink lots of water and most importantly...fit some form of exercise into your daily routine...these all go hand in hand and make for a successful end result!

Cheers!

Thats a amazing result, you must feel great!!! Did you stop and restart the diet many times? or just wasnt so strict in what you ate?

End of my first week and ive lost 6lbs im quite happy with that, its going in the right direction. I am however giving my scales away to my parents so that i dont get tempted to jump on and off them like i usually do. Also thanks for your advice i have just taken my measurements and hope to see great improvement in that area in afew weeks time

Hope your induction is going well!

Re: 418 lbs - Looking for a buddy!

I have no idea if hubby and I have lost anything, so far it doesn't seem it. His belt notch is still the same and I have nothing new. I did try on a 28 at Walmart last night, it fit tightly. (of course) But I seen that after losing maybe 2-3 sizes, it likely could fit me later this summer!!!! So, I am looking forward to that.

Anyway, we will take our measurements when the 2 weeks are up, or if we can't wait that long, then when the first week is up. Today is day 3. so here's to hoping for new clothes in a couple months!!

Re: 418 lbs - Looking for a buddy!

That's great! Wow, good job on your loss, how long did it take?

My rings are fitting a little looser today, I took my measurements and before pics today too. I also put on a size 28 dress that I've not been able to where comfortably since I was 16. I crammed myself into it for pictures, I am using that as my weight loss tracker, since there isn't a scale that I can find that can weigh me.

I am so looking forward to losing weight and gaining a happy, healthier me!

To be honest, the first 20 came off over a time period of about 2 months, but then I just threw down the gaunlet (again ) and decided to commit myself to this WOE for life...so far, the last 7 pounds or so happened withing the last 10 days.

Re: 418 lbs - Looking for a buddy!

Its strange but i feel so much more healthy now that im following this plan i do get some strange looks when they see what im eating at work but i just shrug it off. Im sat with plates of meat with lots of veg and they are eating plain old boring sandwiches lol. Drinking as much water as i can, it really helps. I cant wait to get deeper into this diet so that im confident enough to add exercise into my routine. Im scare if i overdo things it will all go to downhill. o well one thing at a time. Wish this diet wasnt so expensive though. Meat is not cheap
