    Drum Roll Please!!!!!

    I am happy to report that following my 14 day induction I weighed this morning and lost an unbelievable (for me anyway) 10 pounds.

    A big thank you to everyone on this board who share so readily of their experiences and expertise in this WOE. You guys are AWESOME!!!

    I also remeasured myself and have lost a whopping 8.25 inches which is further proof that this WOE works wonders.

    For anyone reading this that is on the fence about trying Atkins, I encourage you to GO FOR IT because if it works for me it will work for you. I think it works because it is not too hard to stick to the plan since you are never seriously hungry and can eat until you are satisfied. What personally helped me was eliminating all diet soda for the 14 day period, drinking 93 ounces of water every day, eating mostly just the veggies from the salad list (they fill you up and prevent constipation ). I have almost zero willpower but I can honestly say I was never seriously tempted to cheat during induction and my biggest personal challenge was going 14 days with NO ALCOHOL

    Anyway, thanks again to everyone for their help and support.

        Great job... my 14 days is coming up here on Monday so I can't wait to see what my results are. I am also curious to know whether you are going on to OWL or stayin on induction? Also are you trying to quit drinking soda or does the diet soda have extra hidden things in there?

                Wonderful news. I feel the same way. It is so amazing that it (something) works. I started my induction a month ago and am in OWL and I still think it is just amazing.

                    Weigh to go, Pam
                    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!

                            Gee, THANKS everyone for your wonderful posts and encouragement and making this day even more special. Being on this board makes all the difference because of you AMAZING folks who inspire me so much.

                            My understanding of OWL Rung 1 is that you just add 5 net carbs of veggies daily so I think that is what I am going to go ahead and do. I will probably do that a few days this week and see how I feel.

                            Once past induction, is it best to weigh once a week or less? I refuse to get on the scale more often than that since I know from personal experience how discouraging it can be to go up and down on a daily basis.

                            Well, I am going to go get ready for our big night out celebrating our 23rd anniversary and my best friend's 50th birthday. It will be my first foray into eating out since starting Atkins but I know this restaurant well and even went online to double check their menu and I can have a perfectly lovely Atkins friendly meal.

                            Okay, I will just say this now. I am planning to have a martini and maybe a little bit of wine while there. I KNOW that is not the absolute best decision to make at this point but I decided that FOR THIS ONE NIGHT ONLY I am going to do this. Tomorrow, it is back on the wagon until some point in 2008.

                            Ya'll feel free to go ahead and rip me a new one cause I deserve it.

                            Hope everyone has a great evening--talk to you tomorrow.

                              Happy Anniversary! It's terrific for you to be celebrating a long marraige, have fun! Have some good sipping vodka with a coupla olives in it if you must. No carbs there! It's better than the wine!
