    I recently started the induction phase

    Hi everyone. I started the induction phase on 4/15/07. Today is day #4. I have always had trouble with being a little overweight. I started Weight Watchers when I was only in 3rd grade. There are two reasons for following Atkins right now. One reason, of course, is weight loss, but the other reason is I have hypoglycemia. The only way I seem to be able to control my low blood sugar episodes is to avoid sugar all together.

    I ate the Atkins way about 3 years ago with great success, losing about 35 lbs. But, as I started eating sugar and simple carbs again, my craving starting getting out of control; and so did my hypoglycemia.

    The first two days have been difficult for me, but by yesterday evening (day 3), everything became easy. Today I woke up 1-1/2 lbs lighter! I know it isn't much yet, but it made me happy and encouraged! By the way, I am historically a slow weight loser, even with the Atkins eating method.

    I spent the better part of yesterday reading all of your posts and I feel like I know y'all already. It is good to meet everyone.
