Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow!

Hi
I was going to start Induction today but I had to re-work my menu....and re-read alot of the book so that I do it right. I don't want to screw up the induction part so I am being a little obsessive.

Anyway, I am starting tomorrow and think it would be great if we kept each other motivated. I am 181 lbs and my first goal is 161 My final goal weight is around 125. I am 5'3" and am apple shaped. I am trying to get my friend to start with me but haven't had much luck yet.

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow!

Congratulations to all who have decided to start tomorrow (re-starting induction for me). This is a great place to get support, find a great new recipe, ask questions - what ever you need it's at your fingertips. The more you use this site the more it can help you.

I made Linda's Stuffed Green Pepper recipe for my dinner tomorrow night - I love them - crave them even...and I'm not a stuffed green pepper kind of girl - LOL. I made 8 servings (each serving is 1/2 a green pepper) - we'll have them tomorrow night (dh, mom & I) then I'll have 4 extra's that are already in the freezer. DH eats 2 servings and would eat 3 but it's too much - mom and I each eat 1 serving. I'll make a salad w/lots of veggies and 2Tbsp Hidden Valley Ranch and will enjoy every glorious biteful.

Drink plenty of water - at least 64oz - I run the monthly water challenge and see how much this really helps everyone. Exercise is also crucial when you are doing this WOE - Dr. Atkins says it's not an option - it is a must.

Good luck to all of us.

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow!

I started 4 days ago. So far have lost 4 pounds. I've done this once before about 8 years ago so here we go again. The first week is the toughest. If you can go a couple of weeks then you've got it licked. When you start peeing a lot then you know its working. I've read that for every 4 pounds you lose 3 of them are water. This is because a fat cell is 3/4 water. Good luck

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow!

Great - it seems like there are a few of us starting tomorrow. I cooked/prepped my dinners and a few lunches for this week today. I am starting the morning with some eggs and 2 pieces of bacon - lunch will be the mushroom chicken I found on Linda's website (it was marked 'induction friendly', and dinner will be steak, 1 cup of asparagus, salad with oil/vinegar/salt/pepper, hollandaise sauce -- I know I will have a snack so I am saving 1 cup of veggies for that --- any ideas about snacks I should have on hand? Good luck to everyone!

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow!

Good luck everyone (and me) who's starting today!!!! How is it going????? Let's fill each other in once you've started! First three days are always tough! So let's motor through together!

Re: Anyone starting Atkins tomorrow!

Do a Google on Pizza Bites. Look for the low carb one. I just made some yesterday. It's basically pepperoni, cream cheese, spag sauce, mozzarella cheese, spices, eggs, etc. They are made in a mini muffin pan. Not bad.
