I lost 9 pounds-yahhooooooo

[kaye]

Just wanted to say I lost 9 pounds and today was my 14th day of induction. I have had a clean induction. The Atkins diet is not new to me. I was on it from 7/03 to 3/04 and lost 70 pounds. I wish I had never gotten off. I just got so tired of family and friends telling me -you can't eat this way forever and I ended up listening to them thinking I could manage my weight on my own. I was a lot healthier-my blood pressure was finally normal. Needless, to say I didn't do a very good job of managing. I gained back 20 pounds and started to feel horrible again. I finally started back on Feb 19. The induction flu was worse this time. I never thought I would live through last week, but I did-thank goodness. I started getting that wonderful feeling two days ago with lots of energy I am pleased to say and I feel so much younger just like I did the last time I did this. Just wanted to share some good news. My goal this time is 40 pounds and I intend to make it. I also plan to stay in induction longer because I know I lost more on it the last time.

Congratulations on the 9 pound loss! I think you find the diet perhaps easier this time with this support group around you, so rather than hearing the Atkins pessimism, you are fed daily doses of Atkins success stories, which i am sure you will be one too. Glad you made it through the Induction flu week, and came back to tell us about your successes. WTG!

Thank you Emily, Peter, and bowulf.
I really appreciate that. I have reading posts here for the past couple of years. I just having posted that much. I have learned so much from this board and gained so much inspiration from this board. I would have to say that Brook was one of the first to inspire me and I finally thought--hey I can do this too. I have tried so many diets in the past that never worked for me. This is THE ONLY DIET THAT EVER WORKED AND I THANK ALL OF YOU AS WELL AS DR. ATKINS. I am almost ashamed to say that I am a Biology teacher and when I teach the different forms of metabolism, I always explain to students how the Atkins diet works. Just trying to educate more people about it.

Congrats Kaye! You have inspired me to go on a clean induction starting today! I started out today very well so I'll finish today in "clean induction style"

[kaye]

Thank you Bree. It looks like you have accomplished a lot as well. Do the clean induction and all the sugar cravings as well as being hungry will STOP.
