Questions on most recent try

[HoosierMommy]

Hello Everyone, My name is Jamie and this is my first post. I have done Atkins before with phenomonal results, but then after I looked good I thought that no brownie could hurt me. I was wrong and several brownies later here I am posting on the ADBB. I stuck to the plan Religiously the first time and plan to do so again. This brings me to a question though. Will it hurt to take a dietary pill with the Induction? Here are the 3 I was wondering about:

1. Phentermine (generic fastin)

2. Slim Seduction-Ingredients-Calcium, Niacin, Chromium, Yerba Mate Powder, Guarana Extract, Green Tea, 10%Synephrine, Dandelion Powder, Cayenne Powder, Guggulipids, Gelatin, Mag Stearate, Mag Silicate, and Silicon Dioxide.

3. Lipotropic-Ingredients-Panthothenic Acid, Choline, Inositol, L-Methionine, Betaine, L-Carnitine, Cellulose, Stearic Acid, Mag Stearate, and Silica

Any input would be appreciated and I would LOVE to have a buddy during my induction/extended induction phases. It's been 4 days today and going strong. Plenty of water (I can tell by the potty breaks!!) and cut down from 5-6 Mountain Dews a day pre-induction to allowing myself 1 Diet drink at Supper. Thanks All!

Alright, and here is a totally off the subject question. How do I get the cute little thingies on my page? Like the ruler that measures your weight loss. I can't get a pic on my profile because my pic isn't 100x100 pixels or less. But I still want cute thingies!

jamie, try looking through the stickies in the testing and technical forum and/or the FAQ's forum to learn the how to's on the siggy tickers, etc.

i'll leave the supplement questions to those who know it best.

try doing your induction with just the induction rules and vits and minerals Dr Atkins recommends and then on day 15 after you have weighed and remeasured see if your body needs any boasting on Atkins.

Hey Hoosier Mommy,
Welcome to or back to the STAC boards...Sounds like you are motivated. Sounds like you know Atkins and the success it brings...Fantastic.
I too have been on Atkins before. I think I am on day 54 right now, cheat free and happily in ketosis. There are so many wonderful people here who will pop in and welcome you. Remember to work the water and exercise, and establish a plan. I am huge into the positive-preparations to sustain and support our efforts. I have failed in this arena and this time, being older and wiser to my sneaky ways, I am out to truly change from the inside out...I don't know about you but I really seek a better quality of life...I know alot rides on the quality of fuel I ingest!
Hey keep checking in, I love to be friends.

Hi Hoosier Mommy!

Today is my 5th day, if you want a buddy.

I don't know about the supplements, I'd try without for now though and see how it goes.

Re: Questions on most recent try

I've added you and others as buddies, but I can't find my buddy list yet! Feel free to email or message me anytime. I'll help out as much as I can.

Re: Questions on most recent try

hoosier,
did you figure out how to get back to the buddy list?

go to your user cp page
scroll down the list on the left to buddy/ignore list

if you already found it then your good to go!

Re: Questions on most recent try

what's the purpose of the buddy list anyway? I can't quite figure out what it does. :P

if you have someone on your buddy list, you'll be notified when they make a post.

if someone is on the ignore list you won't see their posts.

How are you notified?

I have added a few on there thinking it was just to see if they were online or not and a quick way to PM them if they weere - insteading of finding a post by them and then PMing.

Re: Questions on most recent try

sorry for the misinformation. don't want to totally screw everyone up.
if someone is on your buddy list you will see them listed on the main adbb page, at the bottom with a + sign by their name.

This is a list of users you wish to identify as your Buddies. To add a user to your buddy list, go to your User CP and in the left Nav Panel under Miscellaneous, select [Buddy / Ignore Lists], type the username you wish to add in the Buddy List blank and click [Update Buddy List]
Alternately, you can click on their username in any post and, from the drop-down menu, click the [Add username to Your Buddy List] link.

Buddies will appear in the Users online list with a + sign following their username.

purpose of this? [[[shrugs shoulders]]]]] with or without the plus sign, if you go to the main forum page, you can still see if they are on the board or not.

ignore list will not let you see the posts made by that member.
