Ok going to be totally honest here about everything im doing wrong.
I am still in extended induction (though occasionally eating from rung 1 (extra cup veggies) like once a week maybe). My weight loss has slowed so dramatically. I am loosing like a lb every 2 weeks. I also am not exercising as I should be. Ok, almost not at all the last few weeks. Since starting atkins I havent been able to stick to an exercise routine. I just cant seem to make it habit. Joining the challenges hasnt helped, I have tried the treadmill (which I kinda liked but it got old, workout videos just plain old boring and tiring, and its too miserable out to go walking. I did like my walk away the lbs vid but with roomates and the only place to do it is in the livingroom, it dont happen too often, I cant do it in front of ppl. I know the exercise (lack of that is) is partly to blame but also its not like I was doing it then stopped, I have never been doing it like I should. (someone kick me now!!) I plan to remedy this but need a game plan. i want to make this a life long habit (exercise).
Ok so my questions are this...
1. Can being on induction too long cause you to stop loosing? Does my body need to move on already? I was hoping to wait until I reached my mini goal then move on.
2. Can eating from rung one (extra allowed veggies) slow weight loss if im only doing it sparatically and not daily like I would be if I moved into OWL?
3. Any suggestions for making exercise a routine and a long term way of life when you have been severely lazy (suspected chronic fatigue syndrome...or is that just another excuse?....) your whole life. HAHA!
Seriously though I need some help. As far as everything else goes I am doing great. I havent strayed from the meal plan or cheated food wise or anything but I am not doing atkins I know if I am not exercising.
Can you believe that guy on biggest loser lost 100+lbs in 3 months?????? Its definately how hard they are working out! The healthy eating is the most important thing sure but no way they could pull those #'s with out working out like that! Really sheds some light on what I am doing wrong. If I only did a 4th of that (working out) I could be doing phenominal! I have to get my butt in gear and get moving!!!! With 4 kids (I baby sit for my roomate as well as 3 of my own) all under 5 my options are limited but still I know there is something more I can do!
Oh, by the way, dont hold back, Im not easily offended and I posted because I truely wanted help, not looking for someone to tell me im doing ok when I know I know im not doing what I should be. If others can give it their all I know I can too but I havent been doing it. I know its a "reap what ya sow" kinda thing. You get out of it what ya put in so what do I expect only doing it half a**ed? Id just like some suggestions for getting moving indoors with 4 toddlers and preschoolers and some answers to my concerns. Thanks!!!

Sometimes we will kick a soccer ball around outside or play tag. When I go to the store I park far away from the entrance. These are all small things but it all adds up.
