Hello girls,

Today has been a good day, I had a beef patti for lunch with cheese and my water, it is now 6pm and I drank my 2.2liter of water and its only 6pm. I do have a real big headache...but I guess this is part of the process. Well ladies I'll check back in later.

Re: Anyone starting induction 9/18/08?

Well ladies, I just wanted to let you know that I'm out for few days. We've had strep throat going around here and I think I've got it. I need to make sure I'm all the way well before I hit induction flu. My throat is so sore I can hardly even swallow water, and my head hurts so bad, may be a combination of strep and the start of induction flu, I'm not sure, so I'm going to go off plan for a few days until I can sort out what is what. But I'll be here cheering you on from the sidelines, and I'll be back on the program as soon as I'm feeling better. Wishing you all well!

Barb ... LOL! I do the exact weigh in every morning as you do I thought I was the only one!
How is everyone? I have stayed clean and I am now determined. Induction started out being such a drag but I always know if I can get a day or two under my belt I can't be stopped . This will be a long process for me and I have alot to change along the way. Isn't the carb habbit horrible? Breaking that addiction and habbit of eating what ever and when ever is hard but I am looking forward to the peace of having done the hard work to get the reward. Keep up the good work!!

Re: Anyone starting induction 9/18/08?

I wish I would have found this a couple of days ago. I am starting tomorrow Sept. 22. I want to surprise my boyfriend who comes home from Iraq on Nov. 21st. I have 8 weeks and my goal is 30 pounds. I know that may be a little unrealistic. I am 186 pounds, athletic build. From what I see, people have done it before. It would mean the world to me if I picked him up from the airport 30 pounds lighter!! Please help me do this!

Hey Stacy! You've come to the right place! Now even I'm excited about your boyfriend coming back from Iraq! Even if you don't make the 30.... you'll look and feel better.... he will appreciate it no matter what! Tell us how you do on your first few days. Come here often to ask for help and get your questions answered. You may feel bad for the first three days or so.... but day four is a whole new ballgame! Stick with it! You can do it!

Re: Anyone starting induction 9/18/08?

Well day number one is down! WHEW. I don't feel too bad right now. I have had a horrible headache most of the day. I heard that this is normal? When should they start to go away because NOTHING is helping it. I know a nice bowl of pasta would def. work. haha. I didn't cheat at all today. It wasn't too bad. I'm having some cravings right now in the evening time but I'm working through them. I'm ready for day number 2!

Re: Anyone starting induction 9/18/08?

Hello Stacey,

I know how you feel, on my second day of induction I also had a terrible headache and that afternoon I took a tylenol and it went away. Today is my 5th day & I dont have any cravings(yey). Keep up the good work Stacey

Re: Anyone starting induction 9/18/08?

Wow ladies you are all doing great, keep up the good work, and I'll be back on board tomorrow.

Re: Anyone starting induction 9/18/08?

Well Gigi and Barb looking good! So day 5 is comming to and end (having chicken for dinner) and I have found that checking in with you guys in this thread is a high point in my day. I have been clean so far. Not even a bite! It is a test being that I have to make dinner for my husband and daughter (they don't have my food issues) not licking the spoon and trusting that what you made will taste good is tough but I just keep thinking forward to reaching my goal and it isn't worth it. At this point it is not one meal at a time anymore but one day at a time. You both are keeping me honest.
Thanks
