Re-starting induction aug 17th......anyone wants to join?

[Tania123]

I cant even tell you guys how many times i have been around. I am not going to get into all that. What i realize is that the past is past, i cant change it. But i can take charge so that i can change my future. So, it is time to pull up the socks.

I am re-starting induction from tomorrow (17th august). I am really hoping to find a patner who is probably in the same boat as me on starting the millionth time over. By doing it together we can keep each other motivated.

Anyone interested?

Tania - I am very interested I have started Atkins many times since I did it for three years and now have been off for about that long too. I have gained back quite a bit and need to lose it.

I need to get Atkins prepared in my kitchen so I am thinking of starting full induction on the 19th.. last time I started on a wednesday.

I will start with you then and hopefully be losing together.

Lets do it!

Hi and welcome back ladies –

Don’t compare what you lost or how you did “the last time” your body and lifestyle isn’t the same as last time – follow the plan the way it is written, exercise, drink plenty of pure water (64 ounces minimum daily – nothing added) and you’ll be on your way to loosing before you know it.

Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support. Check the stickies at the top of the induction forum to refresh your memory on the plan. http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/5781-before-you-begin-atkins-nutritional-approach.html.

The recipe sites are a helpful meal planning tool – just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with.

Re: Re-starting induction aug 17th......anyone wants to join?

This is awesome!! We are all in the same boat and hopefully we can share our thoughts on this forum and help each other not to fall off the wagon.

So ladies, we are all on now.

lilblackdress - 19th will be your day one. Do not worry about the weight you have gained. We have lost it before as well and hence we can do it again. And you are already sincere because you wanna stock up with legal food first. A good start is half the battle won.

For me, valinerya and kerry - today we are on day 2. For me my hardest part kicks in on day 4 specially when the weeekend is here. I love to drink wine and it never stops there. After wine i binge on carbs and its all the way a downward spiral. So thats going to be the biggest challenge this week. With your support i hope i can do it this time. Does anyone have a problem with this and know a way to overcome?

imagood1 - Thank you for your support. Means so much to me.

I think we should check in everyday.

What are you ladies doing about exercise? Should we have a plan for that as well? Please share your thoughts.

Thanks so much ,

Re: Re-starting induction aug 17th......anyone wants to join?

Well I didn't wait for tomorrow and so I am starting today!!! I am so with you all on this.

[Valinerya]

Re: Re-starting induction aug 17th......anyone wants to join?

Exercise... well, I'm not worrying about exercise just yet. I will, and I am determined to have it become a part of my new WOL, but right now I am focusing on the food.

But that's just me Maybe some extra motivation is needed for that, at least in my case

Re: Re-starting induction aug 17th......anyone wants to join?

Hi Tania, I feel your pain and I am pretty much in the same boat as you. I am starting again today and I can use all the help I can get.

[kathie68]

Re: Re-starting induction aug 17th......anyone wants to join?

OK, I want to start again too. I did this like 5 years ago and lost over 30lbs......but then I stopped and it all came back, not to mention I had a baby 3yrs ago, so now I have even more to lose. I know it works, so I am starting today with all of you.....

Re: Re-starting induction aug 17th......anyone wants to join?

Tania, your singing my song....I belong to a whiners (winer"s) club and we will be meeting this Thurs. for lunch out for a birthday..that will be a hard day for me..I have another luncheon on Fri..YIKES what a week..

I do water aerobics each morning and will be out for 2 weeks due to vein surgery today at 1:00..That will cut my activity down a bit....

I think with the help of all of us together we can all do this...

Re: Re-starting induction aug 17th......anyone wants to join?

Great going Ladies!!

lilblackdress- Wow! (for joining us one day early)

valinerya- I have heard weight loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise. U r right to focus on food. We all HAVE to get it correct and then we can bother about the next step.

eissakha - Thank you. Together we will sail this through. I find being here in this forum truly helps me.


So,how is the induction going for everyone. I must admit the headache has kicked in for me......but it gives me motivation that i must be going in the right direction.

As the book mentioned, exercise is non-negotiable. I will start with working out at least 3 times a week. I am 1 down.

I am curious to have a weigh in on Monday 25th when i wake up. The reason i say this coz it will motivate me not to fall off the wagon on weekend (as i usually do). Thinking that i have to post my weight will stop me from cheating and drinking. Let me know if anyone else agrees with this.

Breakfast is a challenge for me. Since I have to get to work wicked early in the morning i had 2 boiled eggs in the morning. Somehow i feel very hungry. I would be interested to know what you guys eat for breakfast.

Looking forward to hearing back from u soon.

Re: Re-starting induction aug 17th......anyone wants to join?

Kerri,

We have to mentally strong. It is all in the head. Please do not feel afraid. U have to give 2 weeks to urself. Coming from a person like me, i know it is so bloody difficult.

Strategize as what you r gonna do to get thru this. Eat some protien before u go out to these lunches and drink 2 glasses of water. Trust me if u r full u wont be tempted by food. Search for legal options there and stick to them.

And lastly, if everything fails, and u feel like u r just about to give up......just make some excuse and run out of there!

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers!

Re: Re-starting induction aug 17th......anyone wants to join?

Today for breakfast, I had 4 slices bacon, 3 breakfast sausages (1.5g carbs for all of that meat) and 2 eggs, along with 1/2 cup cucumber. Later this morning I had 1.7oz hard Cheddar cheese.

Not hungry, but my brain is telling me it wants some bagels or muffins or something. I know that's part of it, so I'm steadfastly ignoring it, as it should get better soon.

I hope your headache gets better soon Tania! Means you're on the right track though!

Re: Re-starting induction aug 17th......anyone wants to join?

Welcome Kathie - wouldn't you know the day I start we have pizza free to staff at my work, but I was good and went and got a salad and ate that.

We are getting quite the team started, this is so exciting.

Yes I started early, no time like the present!!

I remember last time being so worried about carb intake I would dream I was eating pasta or bread and be all worried and then wake up phew it was a dream.

I was so committed the first time I did it for the first year of the three years I did low carb that I want to feel that committment again. This time will be harder as I am living closer to my parents now and there is lots of temptations and such that arise from impromptu gatherings and such. But I can do it.

We are in the process of having our house redone after water damage so once that is back to normal I am going to get the Wii fit out again.
