  • How Long Are People Staying On Induction?

    Hi ADBB,

    I would like to know how long are people actually staying on induction before moving on to the next level. I'm plan to stay on induction until I reach my goal of 160 pounds.

    I plan to stay on induction untill I am 20 more pounds to reach goal, then I'll ease into the OWL and maintenance rungs. I want to allow myself time to adjust to them so that when I reach goal, I don't start adding too many carbs and lose control of my WOE.

      I'm staying on induction until i get at least within 10 pounds of my goal. During the first week i kept telling myself that i would only have to do it for 2 weeks, but i've gotten so used to it, and have actually enjoyed the foods i'm allowed. I don't see any reason to rock the boat just yet. I've still got 80 lbs to lose! :wave

        Hi Harlem,
        Welcome to the board! I stayed on Induction for two weeks, because when I started, I planned to reach the berry rung in time for strawberry season. Yum - I don't regret it. What's your plan for after you reach your goal weight - do you plan to go through the OWL rungs and take off a little extra, or just jump right to Maintenance, or what? Just curious because with less than 10 pounds to go I am starting to think about how to maintain my weight, when to go to Pre-maintenance, etc.

          Hi everybody,

          I think i will stay on the induction until 10/15lbs to goal. I think i can manage that. I do miss fruit though-anybody else?

            I plan to stay on induction for at least 60 more pounds- have been on it for 2.5 months now. Food is fuel- I've eaten pretty much whatever I wanted for most of my life- seems silly to feel like nine months of deprivation is "unfair"- especially when it's not really painful or difficult.
