End of 2 Week Induction - Success

[sdw6]

Well its been two weeks today and I lost a total of 13 1/2 pounds. Pretty good.

I can tell a difference in my joints when walking, also in my clothes already. Which is good.

I'm going to continue with induction mainly, but I am adding a couple of things. Like Sunflower Seeds. I love them, they take awhile to eat (in the shell) and they satisfy that craving to munch, like on chips and things for me. I can only go so far with Pork Rinds. Not everyday, but think I will also add low carb tortillas. But just ever so often.

It's been a hard two weeks, I don't remember it being this hard the last time. I have only gotten off a couple times and that was when I got up after going to bed and ate a couple T. of Peanut Butter (no sugar, no salt, just peanuts mashed with oil).

Hope everyone is doing well on induction and are having luck. I hope this weight keeps coming off, I sure need it too. I want it to come off, but am bad about sabatoging myself, don't know what that's about. And I'm an emotional eater, so that's hard for me now because of my grief & depression. BUT I am pressing on and taking one day at a time and doing the best that I can.

Thanks for the support.

Good job on losing that weight! 13 pounds is definitely enough to notice a difference...I remember when I hit that mark myself and feeling the changes.

I'm curious as to why you are choosing to not follow Atkins by the book now that you are over your two week induction period? Why go in your own direction rather than follow a proven plan?

Denise - firstly congratulations on your loss so far

BUT - you are already planning to sabotage yourself by introducing foods that are not induction-legal !!

Why not try to stick to the rules for a while longer if you do not want to move on to OWL now?

By changing your eating habits to a 'by the book' induction you could help your body towards better health and a trimmer figure so much better.

I dont know about you, but when I started induction I wanted to lose weight as fast as possible and by adapting Dr Atkins plan you are making this less likely.

Denise,
Ok, I don't have first hand experience with this... because I didn't do it. But, from what I hear, you may want to get enrolled in the next boot camp. I've heard nothing but positives from those who go through it. It helps you get a good clean 2 week induction, makes you accountable, etc. If you can get through the two weeks clean, I believe your cravings for the other things will go away, and that will lead you down the path you are seeking, which is overall better health and less baggage (weight).

Best of luck to you!
Rick
