    Leaving Induction!

    Well, we're finally venturing out of Induction. It was so easy and enjoyable for us...We stayed with induction for 4 weeks cuz life was just so stressful, it seemed easiest to stay with what we already knew and we were enjoying it! Even though life is still far too stressful (my depression medicine is all screwed up and my husband's job deadline is looming), we're moving on to OWL.

    I lost 6.2 lbs during 4 weeks of induction. That's 17.7% of my goal weight. My husband lost 15.5 lbs, a whopping 46.9%!! The inches have been melting away too.

    Overall, every single thing Dr. Atkins said in his book has come true for us. I wish I could give him a hug!




    The Nutshell: I'm a 43 yr old grrrrl, 5'4". Married to the best guy I've ever met (besides my Dad), with one very active toddler and I run my own pet sitting business.

    I lost 4.8 lbs before Atkins. I started Atkins 2/10/07 and have lost 11.2 lbs so far.

    Woohoo - weigh to go, both of you
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



    Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!
