I could potentially walk the whole community as it is off from the main roads..or just join the Gold's Gym down the road from me--I think they have daycare! So I will check the weight out for a few more days..see if that number sticks then make it official! 
It feels good to be here, just wish I had more time to get here i'm sorry you've hit a rocky patch with the way you are feeling bout the diet. i'm sure we've all been there at some point. I honestly think it's just the way I've been feeling about life and not so much just the Atkins stuff. If one is feeling down in their life, everything will seem very lousy no matter what it is. i know right now you feel like you are not ready to move onto OWL, but in light of your emotions right now, and even though you say you have alot of weight to go before you feel comfortable moving on i hope you'll hear me out on this. ~listens intently~ induction was truly only meant to last to 2 weeks to help detox the body. Uh huh Dr. A did say you could stay on it longer Yes he did say one could even stay on it for as long as six months however, he also said that if boredom of food sets in, I don't even think I am bored of the foods I get to eat yet it could lead to straying from plan, and recommended that one move onto OWL. the first rung is only veggies, Only Veggies.. hmmm.. and believe it or not, there are some things you could add even on the first rung that might help when you are missing sweets. actually, there's really no reason you couldn't have these recipes for induction too. i just never did until i moved onto the first rung. if you've never tried jicama before, I have and have a whole bunch in my freezer that is great to use to make mock fried apples. I haven't tried that with them as a matter of fact I haven't really known what to do with them. I ate some raw and I think it tastes like a potato/apple lol here's the link from linda's site for it. Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes also pumpkin is another great thing to have as long as you get canned pumpkin Dh and I went and bought 2 cans of PUMPKIN in a can, but dh is confused as to how I can have it with the carb count being a bit high.. I said I guess I only eat a teeny bit? and not pumpkin pie filling (they are usually right next to each other on the shelf, so i have to really watch to make sure i get the right one). you can add cinnamon and splenda to it, i love having that for breakfast. What's that taste like? jicama and pumpkin are a little higher carb veggies, and make it a little easier to get those extra 5 carbs a day. there is also another dessert you can have during induction, but because of the sour cream and heavy cream being special catagory foods during induction it's better to wait until the dairy rung (rung 2). i put my filling What filling? in mini muffin tins and place in the freezer, once firm, i take out and put in plastic containers and keep in the freezer, allowing myself one every so often. oh, and i also cut down the splenda to about 1/3 c and omit the vanilla alltogether.
before moving to the next rung. many people doing extended induction, after really reviewing their menu find that they are actually doing rung one anyways after a while cause they are eating more veggies than they thought they were. 
were merely convience foods(frankenfoods) and for the most part should be avoided anyway. i'd rather spend time in the kitchen creating my own low carb dishes. I love doing that too.. and i will try to respond to all the other posts when i get home from work.
SALLY??? Hahaha I'm going to take a wild guess here Shauna that you meant me.. SASSY? If I'm wrong 
then I apologize.. I just don't know a Sally in this room or do I? hahaha you made me laugh so hard with your post. Glad to hear that you are making some changes. How long have you been on extended induction? If you have been there forever maybe your body needs the change. I have been on extended induction now for almost 6 weeks
If we're referring to Jackie's suggestion.. it's not out of a box I'll be sure to only be opening the jello box..
Yes I saw it there.. thank you.. 
Spartan machines?? Ummm sure.. ok.. if you say so.. I'll just nod and go with it
Almonds are for the nut rung..you are right they are a nono. The flax can be used for induction. Used for what or in what? There is a limit to it. have no idea about the Nutraclease and if it is allowed. You would have to post the ingredients. The bag the lady gave me doesn't say anything about what's in it, so I looked it up for you.. http://www.newspirit.com/asp/Site/Re...s/Wellness.asp if you scroll down almost to the bottom of the page, all the info on it is there and I have the powder stuff.. but after reading that, I'm not sure that I would want to put half of this lil bag into a meatloaf! Hahahaa That's what she suggested I could do with it.. Ohh my family would so love me!! Hope the Jello does the trick for you. I haven't tried it yet In a tight spot I have been know to mix sour cream and cream cheese and splenda together...with a fork...LOL! Just a little bit because you are only allowed 1 T of sour cream during induction. Ha...can't tell me that you can't do the rungs because you have so much weight to lose when you weigh less than me and are probably taller! Ha ha ha ha The taller thing is a pretty safe bet as I am only 5' short. You're right.. I'm a whopping 5'4 LOL I won't bug you about it but do be aware that it is there and read lots of posts on the extended induction forum and you will see that there is a lot of struggling there. Like Monie said..even moving up to rung one is still a step. We care about you and want you to succeed! (More hugs) O K . . . O K . . . starting tomorrow (Sept.8th 200
I will move to rung #1 - extra veggies!! There.. happy now? LOL .. but I plan to stay here forever!!! HAHAHAHA Thank you for that ohh so descriptive instructional play by play.. I loved it!
I'll have to try that! Let me know how your oopsie rolls turn out cause I wanna make them too but am afraid hahaha Congrats on the 4lb loss my friend!! Woohoo!! hahaha You're hilarious.. "I liked those 14 pounds so much I'm going to lose them twice!" I hope you had a great Monday! 
Woohoo!! HAHAHA I had a visual there for a moment.. too funny.. I'm so happy to hear that all is going so peachy in Sugarland! I never plan way ahead! OMG.. I think my family would go into shock if I even started trying to do something so practical as that! I almost always wing it.. my Dh wants me to make a recipe book 
and we were trying to come up with a name for it if I ever were to and it went something like this "Just Wingin It The Low Carb Way!" hahaha.. Apparently I have talent at wingin up good grub. It's good to know I'm good at something Whenever I ask my family now what they want for dinner, they always say.. something low carb! haha Ohh boy. I hear feel the same about climbing rungs, due to the fact that I also have lots of weight to go myself.. but I was 
bullied into climbing up to rung #1, which is where I'll remain till the end of time! haha Please know that I'm here for you too, remember that!
Umm yeah.. anyways.. I can only hope your tummy was half as sore as mine was/is.. I think I need to put a box of tissues by my computer due to the tears from laughing so hard! About your "tck" "tck" .. I was singing it for hours! Hahaha.. even makin the lil tongue clucks or is that clicks? lmao Sweet nut.. low carb nut.. I'll take yah whatever kinda nut you are! I think I know the perfect place for the Nutri Cleanse.. garbage can! hahaa .. I don't want it.. to many rungs to have to worry about as I'm never leaving #1 The bag she gave me is smallish like 4x5ish and the one they had there for sale was huge! It was more like 11x12 or something? I have no clue what the price was either and I don't care to know. lol But then I have that other stuff, so I have to figure it out or I'll just stumble upon something that says flax seed (milled) whatever that means 
A Flax cracker.. ohh boy.. that sounds ummm.. nummy.. ~not~ "Having a rung 1 party for ya...I'm dancing...like it's my birthday....looking for the hula hoop..." Ohh don't go getting to excited there Elsie, as I don't wanna see yah hurt yourself! I have to get myself back into eating breakfast and lunch, and I would like to see me getting back into writing it all down. I know how much it helps, but it's just too much like work! 
I'm pretty much just eating dinner these days.. really scrumptious dinners, but alas it's only one meal a day which I know isn't enough. When I read "I won't bug you for at least one week...LOL.." I needed some tissues! You're good for me! 
No matter what you decide, I only wish the very best for you.
I love how we label foods hahaha a lettuce roll up thing lol.. well as long as you enjoyed the thing, that's all that matters!
