    Made it to day 14!!!

    Today is officially 2 weeks back on Atkins and I have lost 5.8 pounds and 16 inches!!!! I still have a longggg way to go but that's an awesome start!!!!

    Since I have over 50 pounds to lose, according to page 158 in DANDR, I think I have a high metabolic resistance. So I have some thinking to do...stay on either Extended Induction or move to OWL Rung 1 and stay there for a while. Either way, the weight is coming off, the inches are melting away and I feel fabulous for sticking with this!

    Thanks for all the support!!!!

      Weigh to go!!! My advice is for you to go to rung one. It is just adding more veggies and there are few new ones to try. You can stay there until you have tried all you want. You will still continue to lose if you do it by the book. It will also start you on your journey to learning what agrees with your body and what does not. This is important in being successful at maintaining your weight loss. I say go for it!!! Best of luck!

            Great job done!!
            Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
            Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

              JSJ, beautiful work! The energy lift is astounding, isn't it? I love your 'in it for the long run' attitude. I think it is the mark of a successful person. Way to go!

                Thank you all so much!!! It means a lot to me

                I reread the chapter on metabolic resistance and found out a LOT of great info. For one, I'm going to do the good 'ole spit test tomorrow. LOL I have an allergy to 2 antibiotics and an allergy to mushrooms, so it's very possible.
                And I never knew so much about hypothyroidism either! Not trying to self diagnose but a lot of the things DR A says ring true for me, the symptoms are spot on, especially the low basal body temp. Mine has been low since I am a child! So it's definitely something I'm going to discuss with my dr. Can't hurt to find out more.

                I am really proud of myself for not giving up after losing only 5.8 pounds. I used to lose that in the first 2 days on Induction... and I really think if I had my old mentality about Atkins, I would have thrown in the towel a week ago. This time is not as easy but I am NOT giving up on myself. I will get to my goal and appreciate it this time!!!

                Thanks again everyone for the encouragement and support. I love ADBB

                    AWESOME!!! Congrats!

                    Tomorrow is the halfway point for me!

                    I would say... maybe stick on induction for another 1 or 2 weeks and see how it goes ;-) Then you can adjust or move to OWL if you feel ready.

                    Good Luck!!!

                      Just to point out that you lost almost 6 pounds....and you want to lose 62 so that is almost 10% (sorry can't find calculator to give you exact amount) that doesn't sound too resistant to me..I think you did great!

                        JSJ, This is the core of the issue, isn't it? Once you've decided to change, it just happens. You have set into motion the habits and practices that will make you thin. It isn't about instant weight loss, although that feels great, it's all about changing your body chemistry and mindset. It sounds like you are well on your way. For myself, i am already a thin person in my mind. I think about that all the time and it helps. It will happen. Your attitude is so positive that you will overcome the obstacles. Keep posting and keep up the good work!
