  • Restarted induction yesterday after vacation...

    (sigh)

    I started out trying very hard to stay on track while we were in Vegas. Eventually it got harder and harder, though. We had a great time while we were there for a week and although I eventually indulged more, I still did it "carefully".

    I weighed yesterday morning before eating (on plan), and was up 5 pounds . I took in 15.45 carbs yesterday and weighed again this morning b/c I was curious. I know you shouldn't weight that often, but I had to peek. As of this morning 6am I'm only showing up 2 pounds from when I got back from Vegas!!

    Anyway, I'll be back on induction again for at least the next 13 days. I'm hoping to put things fully back on track. Having run out of options during some meals and indulged in cocktails other times, I figured I'd better start over fresh. I guess it's a good thing I was able to come home and get back on track instead of having fully derailed myself and fallen back into old ways!

    I'm in the same boat. We went to the beach in early July, and I am ready to start induction again tomorrow.

    I gained 10lbs, but I had lost 14lbs during induction last time, so I'm hoping that it will happen again I also went back to work today (teacher), so my natural exercise level will be increasing again as well.

      Hi,

      In the future when drinking cocktails you can always have some vodka and diet coke... it's 0 carbs.. drink water also and you won't feel blooded the next day...

      good luck..

        I am sorta in the same boat... I had done good... lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks then stall.... stall... stall.... for 3-4 weeks I stayed the same weight. I was so aggrivated. I cheated Sunday and then again this morning - I had a sweet tea and 2 cinnamon raisin biscuits... that's what I've craved the most on this diet. I am hoping that maybe this will get me off of the NON-LOSING streak I've been on. It's very depressing to weight and find out you've lost nothing in 3-4 weeks when you've been working your butt off.

          Hang in there! You have done the right thing by just moving forward and not dwelling on the mistake. This is a way of eating for life and you are looking at it from that perspective by moving forward from this point. Great job!

            Don't feel bad... you went to vegas and just gained 5 pounds, and came back to Atkins right away, so be proud of it (I think it's better to see the glass half full!)

                Keep up with your measurements. I've found that sometimes the scale isn't moving the tape measure still shrinks!

                  Thanks for the encouragement guys!

                  It really does help to have someone put it in perspective and move forward. I'm plugging away at induction again. Down three from when we got back but by Sunday I was already down that same three so I feel stalled out. It's only been a few days though, so I know I need to give it some time and probably stay off the scale and quit being so obesessive...
