    I did it !!!!! Induction is over !!

    I can hardly believe my eyes! Induction is over. I've been on it two weeks (actually 17 days - I was afraid to weigh).


    I HAVE LOST 15 POUNDS!!


    This way of eating is amazing. I've never stuck to any diet plan for two weeks before. It's incredible that I can eat the foods I've been eating, not be hungry at all and actually lose this kind of weight.

    This board and the wonderful people here have my gratitude. There were several times I wanted to cheat but I remembered this place and came back to my senses.

    Now.. on to the veggie rung!

            Thanks, everybody. I didn't imagine I would be excited over veggies but I am.. LOL ! I'm going to treat myself with the pumpkin I've been avoiding because of the carb count. Yay!

              Weigh to go
              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!

                    Re: I did it !!!!! Induction is over !!

                    Firstly: CONGRATULATIONS!!!! 15 pounds is great!

                    *crosses fingers and hopes for similar success*

                    You said that you can't believe that you're losing weight eating this way and not feeling hungry all the time. I am with you completely. This WOE goes completely against the way I have been conditioned to think about "dieting," and if I hadn't read DANDR, I would feel so guilty about eating such "decadent" foods. In fact, the reason why I have been stepping on the scale so much in the past few days is that I don't feel hungry, so in my mind I'm thinking there's no way I can be losing weight this way. But I am...WE ARE!

                    I look forward to reading more about your success. Congratulations again.
