Hi all!
I am new to the board, but two weeks into induction. So far I fave lost 15 lbs. I am really excited. My goal is the weight I weighed 10 years ago when I went from working with kids in the woods, doing conservation work, to an admin position behind a desk. Two days after I started induction, I retired my car and began walking to work, 2 mile each way. My walk home takes me right by the food coop, which has really nice produce, meat and fish depts.
Against the advice of both the book, and posters here, I have been getting on the scale at least twice a day, and checking ketostix twice a day. The day before yesterday, I had been three days without any loss at all. I know that I should stop being so obsessive about the scale. But hey, I am following induction to the letter, so why not give in and watch the scale.
Anyway, after three days on no loss, I decided it would not hurt to forego cheese. I had read some people loose slowly or stall because of cheese. Thirty-six hours later, and I got up this morning and was down 3 pounds!!!
I don't know if my body was just in a cycle, or if the lack of cheese helped, but I am going to stay away for a while longer. If I have another 3 day period without any loss, while not eating cheese, I will chalk it up to coincidence and add cheese back to the diet.
