Good afternoon CC'ers,

What a thundery day here in London, huge black clouds and a stinking headache.

Dashing around doing lots of stuff, so just a quick hello.

Hello!

I just finished induction and am moving on to... more induction!
I think I'm retaining some water, so I'm making it a point to drink 14 cups of water today instead of my usual 11-12.

If you see me arou... - oh darn! Have to pee again!

Checking in for the first time in a while. I've been back on Atkins since 6/15 (after a couple months "off") and have lost 7 lbs and a good amount of inches thus far. I'm exercising, eating better, and drinking my water.

One new thing I'm doing differently this time around is really watching my portion sizes and how much I am eating as I know this is one of my problems. I'm making smaller serving sizes of food and stopping eating when I'm full (after I get my veggies in and 3-4 oz of protein) and putting the rest away for later. If I'm hungry later, I reheat and have it as a snack. Thus, I'm keeping to 1200-1500 calories per day, sometimes higher, sometimes lower and have not been hungry.

One other thing I've learned is that you really need to make Atkins work for you, finding the trigger foods and avoiding them, food you won't tolerate, and food balances that both keep you satisfied, getting the nutrients you need and help you stick to the program.

Now to just keep it up.
