Congratulations!

Also, good job for working on that diet soda addiction!

Re: How long till weight loss starts?

Yeah! That is awesome. I am always picking up DANDR to give to my friends. I love the library thrift store.

Hard boiled eggs, lunch meat wrapped in lettuce with a tomatoe slice, there are load of easy quick foods. (why can't I think of more just now????)

Good for you for taking a good look at what you have been doing and making adjustments. Yeah for the lb lost! Hopefully once you start induction for real it will be easier since you have been cutting down on carbs for a few days already. Hopefully you'll have less cravings and less induction flu symptoms.

Keep up the good work.

Re: How long till weight loss starts?

I struggled for two weeks drinking shakes and eating those bars and not losing any weight. Dr. Atkins original program said no shakes or bars during induction. I finally kicked the shakes and bars and after day 7 the scale FINALLY moved about 4 pounds. It was so frustrating. I also tested positive on the ketosis stick which has never worked for me. Today is day 7 since giving up shakes, I feel more lean. I am only looking to lose 10-20 pounds. 10 I could live with, 20 seems like it would be ideal but would require an entirely new wardrobe. I am a six 8, looking to be a 6. I have been as large as a 12-14 in the past.

Re: How long till weight loss starts?

Wow, from a 14 to a 6! THat is super! I'm currently a 14 (tho they are getting looser...) and I'd like to be an 8. I was a six for a short while in college, when I ran 6 miles and swam 4 every day. For my body, I will settle for an 8 with less extreme exercise. (I've gotten lazy!!) I"m kind of short so, each 10lbs equals about one size. I got a pretty bad sinus infection this week and am taking antibiotics, so I'm cheating with yogert (to prevent gastric/yeast issues) but besides that am still being pretty decent.

Hey jeorwa,

I know Im posting kinda late for this, but I to have to cut out the Diet Coke. That stuff is like my own personal drug. Ive heard several different things why its bad. And if it is what will make me stall, then its something I have to cut out as well.
Im doing the cut for the Participant ADBB 2010 Olympics. U should do it with me

Re: How long till weight loss starts?

courtney -
I hear ya about Diet Coke being your personal drug. That and Diet Dr. Pepper. If I could hook up an IV, and get that caffine straight to the bloodstream, I think I would have!
I've been diet coke free for 5 whole days now! I'm very proud of myself! That is a major MAJOR accomplishment for me! Between low carbs and no caffine, my brain feels clearer.
I've had a sinus infection/antibiotics and since I am taking those meds, I am cheating and eating yougert to prevent bad-antibiotic-things from happening to me. Still, I was able to do the dance of joy when another pound fell off. Amazing! I do think it had to do w/the absence of Diet Coke. And even being sick, I have had a ton of energy...almost too much to go to sleep at night!
I don't know how to do the ADBB Olympics...will you clue me in? Sounds fun.
