back on track

[JandLsMom]

Hello!
My name is Karen and i am a 36 yr old SAHM of two boys. I lost 81 lbs on Atkins from Oct 2002-2003 and then found out i was pregnant. I went off the diet, gained my pregancy weight and went back to my old way of eating and gained alot of the weight back. When i started ATkins in oct 2002 i weighed 301 lbs. I was 220 lbs when i got pregnant with my son. I eventually made my way back up to 277 lbs which is where i was one week ago. Today was day 7 of induction for me and tomorrow morning is my weigh in so i will see how much i lost for week 1. I stayed under 20 carbs these 7 days and didn't cheat so i am on the right track now! I am happy to find this board and am looking forward to supporting each other!

Re: back on track

I am on day 10 of induction today!

I did awesome the first 8 days and stayed under 20 carbs with no cheats, followed induction to a T!!

Then yesterday on day 9 i Screwed up!!! i didnt count my carbs throughout the day like i usually do. I didnt count them till after dinner time and i ended up with 22.6 carbs for the day! i was so mad at myself. I had also made another mistake in that i ate a low carb yogurt (3 carbs) which is NOT on induction. It set me off with cravings!! arghhh!! I was so mad at myself and so disgusted i threw up my hands and ate 4 more carbs! so i ended up with a cab count of 26.6 for the day. back on track today!!!

Re: back on track

Hi and welcome! You know, you don't have to count your carbs during induction. Just follow the rules, measure your foods and I guarantee you won't go over 20 net carbs!

Today is day 13 for me!! I will be weighing in again Wed morning and will be interested to see how it turns out!
I noticed my calories arent as high as they were the first few days, due to my hunger starting to go away. I noticed after my so called "bad day" i had a couple higher fat days, because i started trying to lower my carbs a bit to make up for my bad day. Whether this is good or bad..the scale will tell on Wednesday! we shall see!
