    3 months on OWL/4 months total

    I posted this in OWL..but thought I would post it here also to encourage those who are thinking of moving on to OWL that it can be done!!

    Well...I just finished my third month of OWL. I have lost a total of 40 pounds even. I am on rung 9. While I don't eat from all the rungs all the time. I do partake regularly of winter squash, milk and mandarin oranges. I have tried other stuff..lived on LC Chili for almost a week...but eat the above the most. Water plays an important roll on this WOE...I try to get in 12 cups a day minimum. Here is the break down of my months.

    2 weeks induction=12
    2 weeks extended induction=3
    1 month OWL=9
    2 months OWL=8
    3 months OWL=8
    Total= 40 pounds.

    weigh to go
    I'm so happy for you

    moving to OWL isn't the end of weight loss just the beginning of another exciting chapter in your journey of low carb life.

      You are so right, 2Big. After my many months of being off the wagon, when I returned I started out with two weeks of strict re-induction. I then jumped right back up to where I'd left off -- Rung 7, berries and melons. I'm very happy with my progress, and glad I didn't decide to go for an extended induction period. For me, at least, being in OWL helps to pervent the boredom of induction. I know some people are afraid of lossing the control that induction offers, but as long as you keep accurate track of what goes in your mouth, OWL works -- and works well!

              I'm really glad you posted this! EXCELLENT RESULTS!! Congratulations!

              Alot of people become carbphobic and fear moving out of induction, but there's no reason to!!

              This is a 4 phase program!!

                Thanks! I agree Betty. That is why I post my success so that others know that it can be done. If you had told me in August that I would lose 40 pounds in 4 months I would have told you it couldn't be done. In this instance I don't mind at all that I was wrong...LOL!

                      Congratulations Elsie!

                      You have done brilliantly - so encouraging to hear of someone who is losing well and obviously still enjoying herself doing it.
