      It feels great, but a little scary. Well ALOT scary, I am having alot of anxiety over it today. I am still losing, which means I can keep upping the carbs, but I am not missing anything right now. I have inputed a bunch of stuff into Fitday ) anticipating having them one day, but don't know where to start. I am not hungry as I can eat quite alot and some days can't finish, any suggestions? I thought maybe starting with a half a sweet potato but if I am not craving it or missing it why should I bother? Any suggestions?

        How is maintenance going for you. I am there too now. What is your experience so far? I am a bit apprehensive but what can I do?

          Welcome to maintenance Liv! No need to be apprehensive...You'll be fine. Just call on your OWL and Pre-maintenance experience and remember to continue to be vigilant.

            Hi ladies..
            I, too, am starting on maintenance (gotta change it from 14-day induction, huh?)

            I, too, have found I'm not interested in many rungs. Alcohol I don't drink, nuts did not work for me in ANY form. I don't care about beans, or fruit or starchy veggies. Berries are fine, dont' care about other fruits and was ADDICTED to all thesse things before Atkins, so why bother adding when I know they make me addicted anyway, and I don't want em? Do like the occassional low carb tortilla, but that's about all for grains, too...

            I find that my weight flutctuates around 5 lbs throughout any week. I am going to try to lay off the heavy exercise and see if that makes it STAY at the lower of those five. I think it will as I have nowhere else to clean up my diet. No sweetener, no shakes (half a bar a day, some days), no sugar at all, no flour. I love this WOE and am never deprived or even tempted! It's a friggin MIRACLE

            How can we become "buddies" and write back and forth? I think that will help me tighten up this last part? Just general writing on this board is random and helps, but I think a regular correspondanc with some at the same phase and experience would kick it up a notch?
            thanks for reading. I type SUPER fast so I'm wordy..sorry!

              We could start a maintenance check in thread in this forum. Many boards have them but we do not. So we could see if that worked. That is my thought
