    19 days and Counting

    Hi Everyone! I started Induction on November 1 and to date, I have lost 15 lbs! Granted, I want to lose 86 more but it's a start and it feels great! All of my tight pants fit again and a lot of them are actually loose! I've gotten to the point where I feel guilty for thinking about cheating. It's actually good because then I don't even bother. I have been out to a few restaurants and have been able to make good choices. I'm still in ketosis. I had been in moderate range until yesterday when I moved up a notch.

    Stay strong everyone, especially this week! Keep up the good work and as always, you all are truly inspirational!

      hey...you and i are right in the same place.....i actually started around oct 30th though.....i have lost 14 pounds or so.....and i still want to lose another 70!!

      my cravings have pretty much disappeared and i can truly say that i am now in control........i do a lot of pushups because well....being a guy i dont want to lose a lot of strength that would accompany a large weight loss.

                      Oh you guys are doing soooooo good! I started 11/2 and only down 10 pounds.....which may have something to do with this being my third (real) time around.





                      290 lbs. on 11/02/07 Goal: 145 lbs. or size 14 whichever comes first!

                          Hello to all....

                          I've been reading on and off today, looking for words of encouragement....

                          I started on November 4th and to date have only lost 5 1/2 lbs...

                          I ate ONLY what the induction plan said.........

                          Yes, my clothes are feeling a little bit better, but

                          I read these stories of all this mega pounds and think.... can I do this???

                          Just a little history.... I did this 7 years ago and lost 73 pounds, went from a thick hefty 22 to a 10 comfortably....kept it off until about 1.5 years ago...

                          HELP in Arkansas.........
                          Chera

                          I can do this! I can do this!
