  • The second time around

    Hello everyone. It really is great to be a part of this community. I am on my second, third or maybe fifth time on this WOL. The first time was the longest and the most constructive. I went from 295 to 272 in 6 weeks. Then I went on a carb binge that lasted for a couple of years. I have come back to atkins with the hope of stopping the slide. So far I am on day 9 of induction and feeling pretty good.

    I have this site to thank for so many reasons.

    In the last 3 days I have learned about the induction flu, the proper balance of fat/protien/carbs, the importance of lots of water and exercise.

    I don't have a regular exercise routine yet but am always moving as I renovate a room in the house and build a deck. I also get out on my bike as often as I can. As far as my weight loss, I am staying away from a scale for at least the first month. Can't have my self esteem dependent on a metal box that only goes up to 310 anyway.

    I do know that my clothes fit better and I feel thinner. I have even managed to bring my belt in by a loop.

    Thank you all so much for the information and support.
    bob

              Hey, Bob, glad to have you with us -- you've found just the right place!

              Your "exercise program" doesn't sound bad at all. Speaking from experience, I know that renovation is hard work!

              Best wishes to you as you start out on a new Atkins journey!

                Thank you all for the welcome. I have started the journals and hope to stay active.

                I have a copy of the atkins essentials and cabbage is on the master list of ok foods during induction. Is this a misprint or can I have cabbage as one of the salad vegs. I ask because I didn't see it posted on Elleth Faewen's list.

                  I'd have to look in my book.. I'd go by whatever the book says.

                        A misprint I assume, Bob - if you look further down Elleth's list you will find cabbage is one of the 'other veggies' so is a one-cup veg.
                        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!
