Hi - I first want to thank everyone for their posts and support - without it this would be a VERY hard journey.
I need some help from some experienced people I think. I am on Day 9 now. I initially lost a few kilos, the first few days, but since went back up (to where I've only lost a little under 1 kilo (2 pounds). I have 100 pounds to lose.
1. I have followed the diet religiously - logging every single eensy weensy taste in FitDay
2. My carbs are averaging about 17 net grams per day. Never over 20.
3. I am drinking 4 liters of water. (help help I'm drowning
)
4. I have not been exercising other than my normal walking, taking care of a 2 year old, etc. (OK - I'm getting going on this because I've signed up for one of the challenges and it's finally cooled down enough to walk and bike!)
5. I'm taking my vitamins.
6. I'm taking 2 tablespoons of Flax a day (in the form of Flax cracker (water and flax micro'd) or Flax Bread recipe from the forum here - induction friendly). No more than 2 because MAN this stuff is powerful - if you know what I mean!
7. I'm eating 3 main meals and 2 or 3 snacks a day.
8. I am STILL totally exhausted. I wake up ready to go in the morning but by noonish, I'm ready for bed. And I'm going to bed by 8.30 - 9.00. I was hoping that part of Induction would have passed by now - and I've added in some potassium and extra vitamins just in case - with no visible effect.
I'm not thinking of quitting - NO WAY! But I'm just wondering - is there any suggestions for me? I was hoping to really lose like 10 pounds on induction (10%) and Induction isn't over yet..... so any help would be VERY appreciated.
Time is valuable - so I appreciate you reading this and any responses!

Also, I'm still pretty hungry - so I've been having the snacks when necessary but only after a few gallons of water - to make sure its hunger and not just 'eating time' or boredom. Hopefully that will get better!
