    I'm back....

    Hi everyone

    My name is Tara and I was somewhat active here during the mid months of last year. I started induction and lost 18lbs in 3 weeks. I was thrilled and very motivated.

    Then, at the beginning of the summer, my husband was hurt at work, and 4 days later my mother broke her foot while visiting here. With 2 lamos in the house combined with a new litter of 10 puppies and 4 kids, my life became a whirlwind and Atkins became a distant memory.

    WELL....I'm back...with a vengence! I'm sitting here almost in tears because, really, I just don't know what to say here....I'm tired of my extra weight and I know Atkins is the way to go for me.

    I haven't weighed myself yet....but I think it will be helpful to know my true weight before I begin....I'm afraid...very very afraid...

    I just wanted to say hello again and re-establish a presence on the board so that I stay inspired because there are soooo many of you here that are inspirational and supportive. I really don't know any of you but at the same time, I feel like I've known you forever.

    Wish me luck, strength and determination!

    Thanks guys

          Welcome back Tara
          Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
          Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

              Thank you everyone

              Today is day 1 of induction. I feel positive and I have what I would call a sense of relief as well! Relief that this monkey on my back is no longer...starting today!

                    Hi Tara,
                    How are things today? It should be your day three now. Same as me.

                    If you are out there and fallen off, pick back up right away and post us. We can take bad news here, especially if you say: I fell off, but I am starting again today. Something like that.
                    149.8/no weigh/ 119



                    1st goal: 139 (earlier weight)
                    what the rungs mean to me:
                    rung 1 - more veggies
                    rung 2 - dairy (some milk in coffee)
                    rung 3 - seeds, nuts (mostly sprinkled on salads)
                    rung 4 - berries, melon
                    rung 5 - wine -
                    rung 6 - beans, hummus
                    rung 7 - other fruits
                    rung 8 - carrots/ potatoes (nah, prolly not)
                    rung 9 - whole grains (fresh Dutch breads...)
                    Major Goal - 128 lbs/ healthy range
                    (on to pre-maintenance)

                      Welcome, welcome, welcome! I am back for the who-knows-how-many-times....and I get inspired everytime I'm back. The trick is to really incorporate this way of eating into your life, not treat it as a diet.

                      Good luck and Happy LowCarbing!!!!

                        Thank you so much everyone!!!

                        ShannonK....no slips to report here! I'm going strong on day 3!!

                        Drinkin' my water and using fitday to keep track!

                        So far so goooooood!

                        Although I think I have the induction flu....my tummy seems upset here and there, (more of a rooooolling feeling actually) bit of a headache, (although not toooo bad...and I'm prone to headaches too soooo) a bit moody, and BRAIN FUZZZZZZZZ.

                        But, it's certainly not enough to put me off!!

                        Hope it dissipates in the next day or so....

                        Good luck on your day 3 as well ShannonK!!!
