    14 Pounds in 14 Days...

    Hey All...

    Just a little update...Today was my 14th day and so far I have lost 14 Lbs.

    I am pretty happy about this...especially considering that I have not yet started exercising...I know it's not negotiable...but at 400+ Lbs I wanted to give myself a chance to get used to the new way of eating before I added more stress...I also have a bad back so I want to make sure I don't injure myself doing too much too soon. I plan to start doing strength training with a personal trainer at my local gym very soon. I have to say...induction, at least for me, was not as bad as I thought it was going to be...after the first two-or-three days I never felt hungry (sometimes I had to force myself to eat enough during the day) and it went by really fast.

    Since I have so much weight to lose...I think I am going to stay on induction for a while longer...although I might move up to OWL with the 5g of more veggies soon...

    OK, that's about it then...I do want to say thanks for all the help and information I have received so far from everyone on the forums...it really helps...

    Well done! Some may to try to say it is water weight or whatever, but I encourage you to enjoy the loss ! Fourteen pounds is a great start! Stay true to the diet and you will be rewarded!! Keep up the good work!

        Well done
        I look forward to sharing your journey towards becoming a big loser!!
        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!



        Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!
