New here! Looking to start a clean induction

[castaways]

Hi! So happy to have found this place. I have been so inspired by the many success stories. I feel such a strength after reading through the threads. I can't wait to join some of the challenges I see, once I understand them! I'm a newbie to message boards so please forgive me if I make mistakes.

My goal is to loose 40 pounds by October-November and 20 pounds by mid July. I know those last 20 may come off slowly, especially for me. Perhaps Atkins way of eating will help me melt them off faster?

I am pre-training for a marathon. Feel I need to take at least 20 pounds off before I can safely begin official training for a marathon. I will start training mid-July for a marathon in November so those 20 pounds need to come off by July!

Hey!

So nice to have you here. I am on day 7 of a squeaky clean induction. A word of warning: the first 2 days might be a little ruff. I had headaches, but was able to work through them fine. By day three, I felt GREAT, and have felt wonderful since. I have felt so many transformations in my body (all for the good) in this past week, I feel like i have done it forever. I look forward to seeing you on the forum, and hearing how you feel.

Wow, that was fast! Thanks for the support. I am going to run in the Richmond Marathon in November. My goal is to finish before they end the race and start packing up-just to finish! I was worried I couldn't do both Atkins and train for a marathon. Every book I read on marathon training says you have to eat carbs and lots of them. I was happy to read about people on this board who run without the carbs.

I have been on induction but realized I have not been doing a "clean" induction. Been eating a lot of low carb junk food! I have been loosing weight but it has been slow, now I know why.

I am very new to message boards, specifically this one. I don't know how to post my stats. Anyone want to let me know?

Re: New here! Looking to start a clean induction

Thank you for the welcomes! This really is just what I needed. I was actually doing some search on the net in regards to Atkins and running a marathon and discovered this place just a few days ago. I look forward to learning more-will take your suggestions and read through the recipes.

Also could anyone tell me how to put one of the weight tracker things I see? I found out how to edit my signature but am not sure how to add this.

Hey Castaways! Welcome aboard! You can list your stats in the post, or in your siggy, if you like. I believe the tickers can be found at www.tickerfactory.com. There's a sticky around somewhere that tells you the process.

I'm looking forward to seeing your progress!
