Hi Guys!

i am on my second time around and am on my fifth day of induction. I don't see results yet but I've lost 3.5 pounds in four days!!! I am soooo happy with that but I really need to hike up the exercise to get those numbers bigger. The first time I did atkins...I exercised to a dance video 6 times a week and really really enjoyed it!!! I wish you all luck!

Hey all! It's a good weekend so far. The kids and I went to the city park and walked 4 laps on the track. I don't know how far it is, but I could probably find out. My thighs are still burning. It was a great work out! I decided to stay on induction through the weekend just to keep the losses coming, and so far it's going well. I'll probably move on to OWL on Monday. I'm ready for more choices!

Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Hi folks! Was doing really great (ps tried the cheesecake pancakes this morning - SO GOOD) but had my first slip: my hubbie and I each had a frosted cookie for dessert. No idea why, but at least we both realized how happy we are with Atkins. Directly after finishing, I looked at him and said, "Wow, that really wasn't as fabulous as I remembered" and he said, "Yeah.. I like my bacon diet" (its what he calls Atkins as a joke). So I'll chalk it up to experience.

Much like Underdog, I realized I shot myself in the foot this time around with Induction: NO exercise, minus some pathetic dog walks. So, as we've now stocked up for the upcoming week and realized its all Induction stuff anyways and we had the cookie, we're going to do an additional week of Induction the right way with MORE water and MORE exercise. Then happily move to OWL!

NICE loss on your wait, woman!! =) *is proud for you* You're going to hit your goal weight in NO time.

Just got back from walking the dogs and now the DH is making me breakfast (1 fried egg, 2 slices bacon, 1 sausage). We slept in so breakfast is a bit behind schedule (noon here).

Tonight is Parmesean chicken and string beans. I'm so happy to be back.

Thanks AM! I'm pleased with my progress thus far, but I am extending induction a week or two to see if I can get rid of anything since my TOM was severly messed up this month.

Plus, I've got a hot date coming in two weeks!

Hi all,

I just found this website last week and have been inspired by by your entries. Since your induction period is over, I'm hoping others will chime in on a new induction round.

Re: Starting 02/10-02/11??

I'm extending Induction (thanks, cookie) until Sunday, March 2nd. So feel free to post in here as well? Also, feel free to start your own thread too for your group!

Me too! No idea where it went? LOL. Nooo, not preggo. The puppy has happily prevented any of my energy for that lately! ;-P

I'll be moving onto OWL either Monday, March 3rd or 10th. I didn't give this round the exercise/water it deserved and I'd like to try to reduce my yeastie foods and daily cup o' coffee.

Re: Starting 02/10-02/11??

Hello all,

I am happy to report a good end to a somewhat poor started week. I stuck with it since Wednesday and wieghed in this morning at a 12 pound loss this week. It really was surprising and great to see. I was practically jumping up and down. It has been almost 2 years since I have been able to lose anything. I am glad you all were here to come and share this with! Thanks. I don't think I am ready for OWL so I will be doing another week of induction.

Mrs.Brittney congrats on your loss (even with the cookie). Kristi you're doing great!

Re: Starting 02/10-02/11??

Kristi you're doing great!

Thank you very much SoCalCurly! And congrats on your loss as well! It's only the beginning...good luck on the remainder of your journey!

Re: Starting 02/10-02/11??

okay - so far I am down about 8 pnds! so should I expect to continue to lose at this rate? Can I expect another 8 pounds gone by next sunday?


Any thoughts?

Re: Starting 02/10-02/11??

Really Franklin, it depends on what your body decides to do. I lost most of my weight during the first week. I'd say 6 lbs of it, while my second week was considerably less.
