Hi there, I'm new to the board, but not to Atkins.
I've apparently never done it right or stuck with it long enough. I've always fallen off the wagon in OWL.
I need to lose 27 lbs. total, and I've lost 9 lbs. so far. I did induction for 18 days, and now I've moved to rung 1 of OWL. For the first time on this trip through Atkins, I turned a ketostick medium purple today. Yay! I think I may stick at 25g as I add rungs, but we'll see how much weight I lose this week.
Thanks for the revolution rolls and the flax bread. They've been very, very helpful!
I'm doing the RCAF exercise ladder and running. (http://www.idmclient.com/gettingfit/ for more info). I backpack for fun, and I've done 1300 of the 2100 miles of the Appalachian Trail. I'll be going off to climb mountains and hike more in late April or May, and I expect to do at least 100 more miles at that time.
I use fitday to record my exercise and food. I love their nutrition report -- it helps me figure out what I need to supplement. For me, Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D and Folate are usually what's missing from my diet, but I do take a multi, and Omega-3, Vit D, Cal-Mag and flax oil.
In 1999 I weighed 219 pounds and I got down to 180ish in 2000 (low calorie diet). I've never been able to get to my final goal of 160. This is my last try, and I'm determined!

That's exactly what I did during OWL--stayed at a "safe" level and added new foods, then went up 5g and kept same foods. I kept staggering this process to add foods and carbs.
