    Bye the way, I can't believe that you weigh 145 pounds, you look like you weight so much less than that! I see that you are pretty tall though so I guess that makes sense. You also have a fantastic shape, how often do you work out and for how long? I really want to not only lose weight but I also want to improve on my body shape. I wish that I could put a picture of my self on here but all of my photos are to high quality so it keeps telling me that my pixels are too high :-(

    You look great! I can't believe the before and after photos all of this website and how many successes there are. It's great
    Dear Coli,

    You are very sweet. I was blessed with broad shoulders (and an equally broad bum!) so weight tends to sit pretty well on my frame. At 5'8", my body hides a lot of sins (a LOT). I used to be a workout fanatic and a real skinny minnie, but these days I am lucky if I make it on the treadmill 3 times a week. The best way to improve your shape is weight lifting. If you are shaped like a pear, dieting will make you into a smaller pear. Weight lifting actually changes things around a bit.

    Photo shop will let you decrease the "density" of your photos and also will let you format them for the web. Also you can reduce the size considerably and then they will fit. Monkey around a bit. It is possible to do.

    Very good luck to you. I have been on this board since July, and it has been fantastic for keeping me on track during those weak moments. I reInducted yesterday and already am down a pound. God bless Atkins!!

        I am in with you all! I am on day 3 of induction. So far so good. I do exercise first thing in the morning, so that is done. I too am a RN and work at a hospital. Thank goodness it is the day shift...............that night shift did me in, but did it for many years while raising kids.

        Good luck to you all and good luck to me!

          I try to do my exercising before bed as it helps to make me tired and I sleep so much better.

            Hey Kathy...I was supposed to start on the 31st but it took a few days to get going in the right direction....So I too Started on the 2nd!! So far so good but i did notice that this morning I am craving something sweet which is weird cause even before Atkins I never craved sweets but I have also heard that is a side effect to induction but it goes away...So how are you doing so far??

              Hey Britta,

              yep the sweet craving is awfull. I dont normally eat sweets either, I am a white flour girl, chips, breads etc.

              I had a hard time last night, but took the suggestions of everyone here and ate some cheese and looked in the mirror. I am sooo happy I got through that hurdle!! I cant wait until these cravings go away!!



              we can do this!

                  I am suffering from the sweet craving also. I found a recipe on here for "clouds" and I made them. It helps but goodness, they taste good and I could go through more then allowed veryyy easily if I am not careful.

                  I have been following WOE to the letter and am loving the results. In the long term I think I am going to be one very happy woman!

                    Morning Everyone....Well I was trying to stay right on track and I am pretty sure I fell off.... We went out to Mcgraths last night and I asked about added sugar and all and ordered sole and stuffed prawns with crab....well the dinner salad showed up with the SWEETEST Balsamic vinagrette I have ever tasted so I am from now on taking my own and the sole I am willing to bet had some breading on it...I did not eat any bread and drank 6 glasses of water and even this morning I was still in moderate ketosis...So I am learning as I go...I do feel better today though...not such a headache thank goodness and that salad dressing was so sweet I have NO interest in sweets anymore.....So now we are going for a hike and waiting on the storm thats coming in...Have a great weekend all!!!!

                      Day 4 for this little group of ours. I cheated last night for the first time. Weekends are going to be hard. I had a Crown Royal and Diet Coke. Must not have been too bad for me because the metallic ketosis taste showed up in my mouth this morning.

                      I have been tracking everthing I eat in Fit Day. I like it. Keeps me honest. Good luck to all.

                          I started on 1/2. I had every intention to start on 1/1 and I was doing good till we were invited over to the IL's for dinner and they only had pasta in the house. So I failed big time. So far so good, Only one slip up, by accident. Carrots We can do this!
