Re: Who's Starting Induction 10/15/07

Happy Thursday Everyone!!!!

I'm really loving the WOE and forgot how delish everything is and the appetite suppression is kicking in today! I finally had a day where I wasn't running around so I slept in until 11:00am!!! GLORIOUS! Woke up had some ice water, returned a few phone calls and before I knew it, it was 12:30 and I hadn't eaten so I made a GREAT salad. I cooked up a couple chicken burgers with provolone cheese, crumbled bacon, lettuce, cukes and ranch dressing=yumm-o!!!! Having some more ice water, checking the boards, watching Roseanne reruns and then gonna start my writing assignment for class. I'm charging up my ipod so I can hit the treadmill today too! Damn I feel good!

DEBI-CONGRATS on hitting the new number!!! Holy crap, wait a minute here, does that mean you've lost 11lbs since Monday? Woo-hoo!


ii1ii-Re: stalling and disdain for veggies...check out some of the lowcarb recipe sites like
http://www.sugarfreesheila.com/RecipesPage.html
http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/

and the ones right here on ! And try and get them incorporated into the meals. They may be more enjoyable if they're "mixed" in with some meat or cheese yk? Hang in there with the stall because we all know the scale lies. You may be losing inches. I need to take my measurements today I keep forgetting to do that myself.

Wnt2bskinny: GOOD JOB on the 6lbs!!!! I haven't weighed myself yet I'm trying to keep my october goal of weighing once a week so my weigh in is Monday! PS. CONGRATS on quitting smoking too I noticed that in your siggy. That's what I need to do. I've knocked it down quite a bit, about 5 cigs a week I would like to quit all the way for my NYE resolution!

Alimccat: CONGRATS TO YOU TOO! WTG on the 5lbs!

Onmyway: Instead of eating (or in your case NOT eating) 3 meals a day, just have 6 mini meals. That way since you're not really hungry having a little protein/veggie snack every so often will keep your metabolism from grinding to a halt and you're not having to force feed yourself a huge meal. Did that make sense?


Have a great day everyone and a bit of advice...check your fridge and cupboards make sure you are stocked up with all kinds of induction friendly fare, the weekend is upon us and I know for me it can be challenging if I'm not prepared! I'm off to refill my water bottle and then later I'll be hitting the

Re: Who's Starting Induction 10/15/07

I had the wierdest night last night. A detox type headache... went to bed early. Woke up with a bit of insomnia which is really odd for me. Finally got back to sleep and woke up feeling totally blah with absolutely no appetite. I guess it must just be my body adjusting, but surprised me after four days of feeling great. I am feeling better now. Still kinda tired but glad it is Friday and just had a salad with diced chicken breast. Yummy!!

Re: Who's Starting Induction 10/15/07

I started actually having cravings last night for the first time. weird. And, my sleep was restless-dreamt alot...But, broke down and weighed myself this morning and I have lost 7 pounds now! Funny though, measurments only show losing in my arms and chest-not waist or hips or thighs yet....

Hi everyone

This is my first day, but its also my second time round.

Debi2007, maybe its the Induction Flu.

[Debi2007]

Re: Who's Starting Induction 10/15/07

I have heard about the induction flu but don't know what it is... then realized that the book I got for the Atkins program is the old one. I don't have the new one that probably has all the great information in it. I am not sick really, just feeling really blah and kinda cranky...lol.

I have to visit the library again.

Re: Who's Starting Induction 10/15/07

I am up to day four and keep waiting for the headaches and sickness, but as of yet nothing. I thought for sure I would get something spesh cos of the no coke thing. Hoping I may not get it... then I read about Debi. I hope it doesn't hit in the next day or so.

I weighed myself this morning too....... and measured myself. And I am thinking I have done something wrong, lol. Because apparently I have lost only 2.1kgs but have lost 3 1/2 cms from my chest, 3cm from my waist and 2 cm from hips. Doesn't seem right to me??? (2.5cm = 1 inch) Oh and my feet are the skinniest they have been for a long time lol. Almost all the water retention has gone. For me it is worth being on the diet for that!

Re: Who's Starting Induction 10/15/07

I really have to get the right Atkins book. I don't know what the induction flu is. I suppose it is somewhat self explanatory, but I am definitely sicker tonight. My system is just totally purging out. Totally unexpected because I never, ever get sick. I am going to search and see if there is an explanation of sorts on the site, but it is an interesting phase my body is going through. I did not experience this before on the program, but I don't think I ever really did it right before. I am forcing lots of water and hoping I will feel better in the morning. It isn't horrible, just uncomfortable.

Many ppl expierence Induction flu different ways. Me,for example,just got a little nauseus(sp?) and some slight headaches. It will pass. just give it a few days.

Re: Who's Starting Induction 10/15/07

I wanted to wake up this morning and feel great. *sigh* I hope this passes soon. I haven't weighed yet this morning but I do feel very motivated to do perfect through the weekend and get lots of exercise and water in. I am beginning to crave exercise. That is astounding for me...lol.
