    hey yo :)

    Whats up all? I am doing the atkins. I am 31 years old, and I live PA. My name is Vincent...Recently I was on a similar "diet" for the past 8 months, it was a high protein, low carb one, but it wasnt cutting it. I did lose about 60 lbs, but it stopped there. Now I've jumped into the atkins program. I've just completed my first week of induction. Its good, after day 3, I noticed that I wasnt hungry, nor did I crave food like I normally did in the past, and If someone asked are you hungry or want something to eat, I was honestly able to say, "no, I'm not hungry". Anyhow, I am glad someone posted these forums on the main atkins site so I can find it. Have a great day!

              Hello Vincent. It sure sounds like you're doing just fine so far. You're already used to low carbing, and half way done with induction, the rest should be a breeze for you. Best of luck and success!

                yeah. thanks everyone!

                Catblue - Vince is fine

                Yeah I've been low carbing, but not as like the atkins plan. Anyhow, I just got those sticks to see how far I am in ketosis (Sp?) and after 5 days, im in small. So I hope it increases....

                  Don't worry about the color on the ketosticks. Either your in ketosis, or you're not. Anything pinker than beige is good! Some say that when the color is darker purple, that's an indicator that you're not drinking enought water.

                        Everybody's body is different! This is what I've heard around the board. Personally, I'm never higher than the second lowest color, it'a all good to me!

                          Hey Vince,
                          Enjoyed reading your intro. I am back on Atkins too and am going to complete my 1st week of Induction tomorrow (Sunday). Like you, I cannot believe how much I am in control of what I choose to eat or not eat. I made dinner for my kids and then dished out some delish ice cream for them ---------total control which is so uncharacteristic of me. It's almost like I'm taking an appetite suppresant as I can watch other people eat pizza, ice cream, whatever and say no and mean it.
                          Best of luck to you!

                            wow. nice job. I noticed I am able to brush off certain foods as well. Like yesterday morning I went to the waffle house and had an omlet with cheese and asked for NOTHING else. BUT ofcourse they gave me 4 pieces of toast and all these hash browns to choke a horse. I simply ignored it on the plate, ate my omlet, and then proceeded to push the plate forward and sit back and let it be taken away!
