Just finished 2 weeks clean induction today. I did not weigh myself during the last 2 weeks because I can too easily let the scale control my life. I lost 14 lbs. I feel terrific, I am no longer hungry and I drink litres of water. I did so well and feel in control of myself, so I have decided to continue induction. I am eating a lot of salads with no more than the allotted vegetables, but lots of meat, olives and cheese (watching portion on olives and cheese). I do not use fitday, I just look at the Atkins guidelines and stay within them.
In terms of exercise, I am doing 45 min of biking everyday with a break every now and then (1 day). I have challenged myself to 20 push-ups (which I do kneeling down because that is the only way I can accomplish 20!), 25 crunches and 50 squats per day for September. I am also joining the next 6 week exercise challenge. I KNOW that I must exercise to lose and maintain my loss.
I am a sugar addict and am terrified of cheating (or even just eating off plan because I am a guest at someone's home) because with me 1 bite can trigger cravings that I am helpless to control. I desperately want this to become a WOL because I know that it is the ONLY plan that works for me. Wish me luck! I will come back to this thread to let you know how my continued induction goes. If I start to get bored or add food that is better suited to OWL I will move on, until then INDUCTION HERE I COME!

Hold on....It's coming off!!!!








! I'm so inspired by all the posts. What do you have for breakfast? That's my downfall, I love toasted tomato and mayo, with or without the eggs. Your exercise routine puts me to shame
