Day 15 - induction over

[maggiedee]

Hi All,
Im on day 15, two weeks since I started induction... I have lost 7lb, 5lb of this came off in the first week. which means I lost 2lb last week, i was expecting do loose a bit more especially as I lost so much the first week. But 7lb, is 7lb lighter than I was when I started. And my trousers was miles too big for me this morning when i put it on.. had to put a belt on it to stay up. I have decided to say on induction for another 2 weeks, and see how it goes.

Hi Maggiedee -

I'm just finishing induction and I've lost 8.5 lbs most of which came off my first week also but that is when you loose alot of water weight.

I've read that loosing a lot of weight in a short amount of time is not as healthy and in some instances the weight was put back on again because they person was usually on some crash/fad diet and they went right back to eating the same foods after the weight loss because the diet didn't teach them anything about eating habits and eating for life.

I've read that a slow steady loss is much better for you and that 2lbs a week is a good number. We also have to remember that Atkins is a way of life, not a fad diet and is going to make us much healthir individuals in the long run.

Since I have a lot more to loose I have also decided to stay on induction for two more weeks and see how it goes.

Congratulations on your loss, isn't it a wonderful feeling!

wooo hboo for you weigh to go you have lost almost 27% ofd your needed to lose weight. weight loss is proportional those with lots to lose lose more during induction. for me to match your great job I would have had to lose over 39 pounds.

Checkout the OLW forum and read chapters 12-14 in your DANDR

I finish induction today! and having been away all week was eager to see how much I had lost... only 3lbs the second week but added to the 14lb in week one im happy overall. It just shows how much junk we retain I guess.

At 3lb a week it is going to take me some time to hit goal!

Are you staying or going?

Re: Day 15 - induction over

Yes, my apologies for not being clearer; continuing induction or moving to OWL?

I am going to continue for some time as I am finding induction food ok.
