I'm going in goals of ten lbs.... starting at 173... celebrate at 163.... 153... etc...

Sky's the limit! I've never lost weight before (nothing over ten lbs) but I gained thirty lbs this year so it's time for me to do something about it!

Do you drink a lot of caffeine? I read that during induction you should refrain from drinking to much caffeine because it can lower your blood-sugar levels... which would increase the likelihood of having sugar cravings.

And the bottom line is when you want something, GO DO SOMETHING ELSE! Thats what I have to do, although I did give in to a hershey kiss today (so bad... so bad...) but I think its because I had so much caffeine this morning.

I'm shooting for ten lbs... for my first goal. I hope induction will do that for me! Good luck, I'll be c hecking in!

Good mornin ladies...How is everyone's saturday?? Just wanted to check in with everyone. Good to see somemore join the group.

My exercise today was my wii fit - I am quite sore from yesterday and had to push through today. My goal today is to also get in ALL my water. I hate water so everyday is a struggle for me in this department. I am also making me a induction friendly cheesecake today just because I wanted something different and sweet.

I hope everyone has a good saturday!!

Good morning everyone!!! Hope everyone had a great weekend! I am defenitely shooting for 10lb loss at the end of induction. Right now i have to make it past my third day...really i did'nt start until today but I am determined this time is different..i have a feelin'
So weighed in this morning after eating halloween candy all day yesterday and its official today i am 184.
So far this morning i have had saugsage egg mcmuffin minus the muffin! And a large diet coke. I know the diet coke isnt good to have but right now i am just focusing on what i am eating. I have decided that at the end of the two weeks if i havent lost as much as i would like(10lb) then i know i am defenitely dropping the diet drinks..water just isnt my fave!
My hair-stylist lost 30lb in about 4 months doing atkins and never stopped drinking diet coke and crystal light...everyone is different and thats just a chance i am gonna take right now!
Planning on having steak fajitas w/sour cream,gucamole,green peppers and onions.YUMMMMMYYYYY

Yes everyone is different. I found that my weight loss stopped more than half by drinking diet soda and it HEAVILY INCREASED my cravings for sugar. Drinking only water is a transition but once you grow accustomed to it, its not bad. I hope it works for you but if you find you CAN'T make it on the Induction because you keep caving for sweets....I'll bet the diet coke is the culprit!

You are totally right and ACTUALLY at lunch today when I went to pick up my steak fajitas instead of also going thru the chick-fil-a line(I LOVE THEIR DIET COKES) i skipped it and got a bottled water out of the fridge here at work! I am now on my second bottle!!
