    Feeling great!

    Ok so I'm on day 10 of induction and I am feeling wonderful. I have not really had the urge to break from diet. My weigh in is on the 15th so only thing I'm nervous about is back in oct/nov I started having ankle pain so had to stop my exercising. I can't run barely can walk more than a solid 30 mins right now. Yesterday doc had to inject cortisone in my ankle aroind my peroneal longus tendon (I think that is what it is called) the tendon to the side of your achilles tendon. Anyhow I'm hoping and praying this will not play a roll in my weight loss. Has anyone ever noticed a weight gain after shot while on atkins? Btw my first week was 7 pound weight loss so I'm excited no matter what this week brings. I'm going to start doing gold gym for wii for upper body punching and stuff but of course I can't do anything really involving foot right now. If this shot doesn't work I may be facing surgery in four weeks. And I don't want that because I want to walk down the aisle in June and dance at the reception .

    Thanks for reading,
    April

    If you need surgery, you need it.

    What's the consequences if you don't?

    Glad to hear the first 10 days are going well!

      Yes if surgery is needed I will definitly have it but I just hate timing of it of course. As for if I don't have I I would assume I'd be ok I just won't be able to walk long distance, exercise with my feet, run, or just about anything extensive with my right foot. I think this shot will work just keeping fingers crossed.

        congrats on getting to day 10.

        Hope your shot helps. I can understand not wanting to walk down the aisle on crutches but by June you should be rehabbed enough to do just that.


        Have you looked into a pool for some water aerobics while you can't walk?
        hang in there.

          I haven't really checked into that because of my hours at work I don't get home till late and I have a 6 year old son that I have to be with. We don't get alot of time together because I get home at like 7 so like an hour or so and that is all.

              Good to hear you are seeing such splendid weightloss in spite of the cortisone shot, April
              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!
