Welcome back!

Are you re-reading DANDR 2002?

And you're not planning to do Induction until May, are you?

Welcome back to your ADBB family

As Georgiana is probably hinting at, better to do just the 14 days induction then start to climb the OWL ladder to allow you more carbs and food choices when you are on holiday!!

Maui sounds exciting!! Have you been there before?

Hello,
I've never been to Maui. I rarely leave the east coast (don't like flying). I'm really excited and have tried to lose weight by eating less calories and walking. Wasn't really seeing any progress, so i came back to induction and plan on going straight to OWL after the 14 days. i feel really great so far. thanks.

Wow!! what an adventure!!

Are you including exercise yet? Many lowcarbers say that by adding weightlifting they are able to reshape their body even with no scales movement at all!

If you have access to a gym you could get some instructions from the staff there but there are loads of tips around on doing exercises at home if you do not use a gym
Here is just one website I found which might have something to help you get started
Strength Training and Specialty Workouts

Re: Starting New - last post was 2005. Wow

Also we have a fair number of exercise challenges going on - why not start one or two for April!
Exercise Challenges - Atkins Diet

Take a look and see which you fancy! Strength, squats and abs exercises should be good for a start I guess!
