    11 pounds in eleven days woo hoo!

    I have to celebrate since starting induction eleven days ago I have lost 11 pounds! I lost the first 10 pretty quickly then didn't lose anything for several days. With that one pound gone I have made it into the "normal" weight range! Every pound after this is a bonus . So so happy right now.

    I got my Mom excited 5 days ago. 4 days ago she really started. When she weighed yesterday she had lost 1 1/2 pounds the day before and today she is down 6lbs! Woo Hoo for her too! She has 100+ pounds to lose total and I haven't heard her this excited in so long.

    We are both prepared to stick with it and take our time if necessary, but the early losses are so motivating. We have been praying for and cheering eachother on since she started. Today we had a celebration by phone

      Liv,
      Part of it may be that this diet is giving me so much more energy than I ever had before. I started a new trick. When I am on the phone I am pacing or climbing my stairs. Well, I am on the phone a lot. I am now easily getting in to 1 hour "workouts" everyday. I have 5 brothers and sisters and several friends I have moved away from. Talking to them keeps me distracted and I am exercising my butt off. Literally!

          Holy smokes. That really is impressive, especially considering your starting and goal weights. I think I lost about that amount, but I had a heck of a lot more to lose! Congratulations!

                Yeah, I am thinking it's about time to move to the first Owl Rung. I'll have to read up on that. Kind of feels like a little graduation!

                        English Bulldog - The diet is atkins induction and the exercise is mad pacing and stair climbing everytime I am on the phone. Which, as my husband will tell you is alot
                        It seems most everyday I get a looong phone call from some friend or family member, so I am just deciding when they call to go, go, go! I am a sahm and I've noticed to benefits.... Weight loss, and my house stays a little bit cleaner. I have a 5 year old and a 3 year old who love to leave little messes all over the house. As I pace from the kitchen, to the dining room, to my living room, to my bedroom and then back and then upstairs I drop off little things in there correct room as I go. I just pick up one or two things on a lap. This works great for me, and I can also be aware if my littleset has found crayons or some other nightmare for me to deal with. I could never stick with exercise as my children got older because they either wanted to climb on the treadmill too, or they would get into trouble when I wasn't looking. Why didn't I think of this sooner!?


                        Ooops! Its not a diet, its my new way of Eating and yes I am leaving induction very soon.
