Hi All,
Today I begin week 6 of Induction. I have lost 21#, and have lost 6” in my stomach. I have taken starting measurements overall, but have only re-measured my stomach so far, since that is my worst feature of my weight.
I am very happy with my loss, and have had only very rare cravings. I am too busy grocery shopping, cooking food, and cleaning up afterwards to have time for cravings!!!LOL! I have been exercising most days except for a stretch last week when I was feeling a bit weak and dizzy, but that has gone away now. I drink 80+ ounces of water a day and take my multivitamin and several other supplements as well. I am feeling great!
I have been on WW about 100X and although it seems to be a “balanced diet” and I lost weight, slowly, I was always hungry, and could never stay cheat free.
On Atkins, I can almost say I have been cheat free except for 1 thing…The worst I have done is…everyone please forgive me…I have sometimes had too many Group 2 veggies!!! I know, I am a bad girl. I will try to do better!
And the other comment I wanted to share was that I don’t feel the need for “Motivation”. This all just feels right, and I know this time I will be successful.
(The only other time I tried Atkins was in 2004 with a friend from work, and I really didn’t stay on it for more than a few weeks because it was too hard with the type of job I had and my work hours to eat the proper foods and to eat often enough. So it wasn’t a problem with the diet, it was a difficult scenario to eat proper foods of any kind…It’s a long story. And that is in the past)
