Re: Finished Lurking

Welcom, azsunshine! It is nice to meet you! It is a lot easier to do this WOE with a spouse. It makes meal times a lot more cohessive. My DH has been doing Atkins on and off for about three years now and I resisted it with so much of my being, I am glad i stopped fighting about what we were going toeat, and just started Atkins. I sabbotaged my husband on many occasions, not because I wanted him to fail, but because I didn't want to be left behind. Thankfully that is not where I am anymore. I can truly celebrate his successes, because they are my sucesses too. And when I succeed, he celebrates too. Just no longer with a chocolate cake! LOL

The flu feelings will pass, don't give up. And if you do have only a small weight loss durring induction, don't worry. The science works, for some people it just takes time. All the best!

Re: Finished Lurking

Hello again,



I asked sallyseachange to reopen my original thread, as I thought what happened to me has also happened to many other people starting Atkins.

I began Atkins back in February very enthusiastically and did not make it past induction flu. I am going to try again after my doctors encouraging. I have read many of the threads on induction flu to help me get through it this time.

I have not figured out how to change my stats, so I will update them when I do. Unfortunately, I am starting out higher than before.

Thanks for all of your encouragment before, I look forward to it again.

Re: Finished Lurking

Thanks lockeshop for the support. Best wishes to you also as you start.

Sandy, sorry for the confusion, I wanted people to know that there are expected changes when you start this WOE and that with the knowledge provided on this board they can get through the changes. I did not take advantage of that the first time, but I will be this time. Over the many years, I have definitely noticed that the ones who succeed are the ones that actively participate.

I miss scooter too. His sense of humor and insight were greatly appreciated.

Re: Finished Lurking

Good luck to you on starting again. I just started induction yesterday and I am afraid that I may get discouraged if I don't lose any weight within a month. I am eating right and working out so I hope it all comes together. I didn't remove any food from the house because I have a 4 year old and cannot constrict him to a carbs only lol that would be crazy and my husband also still eat whatever, I would like him to start this with me but I cannot be forceful, he has to want it too. Well good luck.

Re: Finished Lurking

Welcome back!! The main thing is that you are back and ready to re-commit.
Grit your teeth and get over the induction flu hump and you'll find the rest is much easier. Once you start to see those lbs drop away, you'll be very motivated to continue.

Happy losing!

Re: Finished Lurking

I agree, I am hoping with all the colds that are out there I will just feel like I have a cold (which I do ) instead. So far everything is ok. Filet, salad and a couple asparagus spears for New Year's eve dinner. YUM. Feeling less bloated, I just love when you wake up feeling less bloated. It's a great feeling.

Anyone know where I go to change my signature, I put it on so long ago I forgot how.
