    Start of 3rd day....

    I can not believe it...but as of this morning (2 full days on induction, today is my third day) I am down 3lbs!!!!!

    I know not to expect to lose 3lbs every 2 days and that this is water weight, but there is this feeling of Ahhhhhhhh FINALLY! I have a chance to get my life back into my control!

    I have to thank the members on this board for their support! I will post pics at the end of induction!!

    HAPPY 4th of July to you all!

    Re: Start of 3rd day....

    Dina..I am sure it is not all water weight if you have already done 450 situps and 7 miles. WOW.

    However...I will caution you about stepping on the scale daily. You WILL see a slower drop or maybe no drop the second week as your body adjusts. That is one of the reasons we recommend that you do not weigh until your 2 weeks are over. So many get discouraged by the smaller number the second week whereas if they hadn't weighed until the end then they will be excited.

    Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see the pic...oh yeah...take your measurements...they are even more important than the number on the scale!

      Re: Start of 3rd day....

      hehehe... I am not weighing myself everyday. I just became so caught up on the boards and all of the stories of "After 2 days" and "Day 3" so I wanted to see if it was working for me! I will be weighing in again at the end of the first week and then at the end of Induction. I am not one to be disappointed by a small loss. Anything less (even 1/2 pound) is a good thing!

      I took my measurements on the first day, and really hope to notice a loss there!!!!

      Thanks for your response and I will catch you soon

            Great Start
            Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

                  Great job Dina! I am also finding all the support extremely helpful. Not just the facts and pointers about the WOE, but the moral support, too. Hey I am also 2 lbs. from my first goal. Here's to seeing first and all goals achieved!

                    Hello Dina. A loss is a loss no matter how big or small, so long as you are heading down and not up. Stay focused. God Bless, Joe
