Hi there,
After reading an earlier thread about "sneaking a drink" on induction, I thought I should post what has just happened to me.
Last week, I decided to return to a couple weeks of induction. I lost 5 pounds in my first week, but in the middle of my second week, however, my husband and I went away on a little vacation.
I continued to do everything by the book EXCEPT the no alcohol rule. I "treated" myself to one small vodka and diet tonic every afternoon for four days. Heck, I even sipped one while re-reading DANDR on the beach!
Well, when we came home, I hopped on the scale for the first time in five days, eagerly anticipating what I expected would be a major weight loss. Guess what I saw on the scale? The same number staring back at me as before! There has been absolutely no weight loss whatsoever. Zilch, nothing, nada, and I blame it all on the booze. Now I'm kicking myself over the weight I could have lost if I had just stuck to sipping fizzy water and lime wedges instead of V&T.
Time to get my butt back in the old induction saddle and try again, this right way, this time.
