    I agree! I am Bringing Sexy Back!!!!!!!!!

    Hi EVERYONE! My name is Camille and I lost my SEXY and am trying to Bring it back again! lol I am a single (divorced as Dr Laura would say) Mom 46 years old with a 14 year old daughter who is also on Atkins right now - her 4th day today ! I am so proud of her. ANY IDEAS FOR TEENAGERS DOING AtKINS??? She wants to lose 20 lbs.

    I am on day 11 of Induction - I have offiically lost 7 lbs so far and lots of inches all over and lots of 1/2 inches (they COUNT!!) I have only been food psycho once since starting Induction. I really wanted carrot cake - well actually the icing MY FAV!! but I didn't do it! The cinnamon atkins bars coating remind me of that icing THANKFULLY!

    So I am not on PERFECT Induction according to the rules ...I have had some atkins products and it hasn't taken me out of ketosis - yay! and I did find some great 2g sugar ice cream - my daughter and I were about doing backflips when we tasted how good it was and it DIDNT take us out of ketosis! at least that's what the ketostix showed. I have the sweet taste in my mouth a lot - it's like saccharin in my mouth. anyone else have that?
    was annoying and then I read that it was part of ketosis so i was psyched!
    love the posts here - they are very supportive.

    here's my stats 221-214-159 OR LESS

    I cant believe how much energy I have!

    Re: I agree! I am Bringing Sexy Back!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Camille - Welcome to ADBB! great to have you with us

    A couple of things just mp out at me in your post...

    Atkins bars arent legal on induction, look at the ingredients, theyre not legal until all the ingredients are allowed during the Ongoing Weightloss (OWL) rung of Atkins

    Ice cream isnt legal until the dairy rung so should be avoided before then.

    Atkins isnt just low carb, its about taking all troublesome groups out of your diet and adding them back in bit by bit just to see what effects your weight.

    Being in ketosis doesnt actually have to mean you're losing weight, so dont use that as a pointer when you're adding in these LC foods.

    Its a great program and you'll receive lots of support from this group, remember to post lots and ask any questions!!

    Best of luck to you!

              Welcome to ADBB to you and your daughter! How cool that you're doing Atkins together... you'll be able to encourage each other.

              I'd ditto everything Emma says... and underline that the bars can wreck havoc with weight loss. Be wary of them.

              Looking forward to reading about your joint progress. Happy losing!

                  Welcome Camille! I think it's wonderful that you and your daughter can learn to eat properly and support eachother along the way! I would add a word of caution to you about the sweet things ......... one of the big points about the Atkins WOL is breaking addictions to things that got to where you are now. Sugar or sweet things is a big one for most of us and the excitement you mentioned when you found ice cream you could eat tells me it might be one for you as well .......... Sometimes when you feed that addiciton even with sugar free things it triggers you to want more and more and eventually can be what messes you up ............ I"m not saying your not strong enough or that it will happen to you but just beware ......... it's very easy to begin way to early to look for ways to eat the things that were trouble for you in the beginning. I hope this makes sense! I wish you both great success in this WOL! Welcome!

                    yeah i understand that and OF COURSE i have no will power and have brought it over to my daughter. Even though it's sugarless and is made with splenda it does psychologically make me want the real thing... i dont but hey understood totally!
                    Congrats on meeting the 199 goal...my next goal is 209... then the wonderful 199!

                      Hey Camille! Welcome to the board. You've already been given some terrific advice about proper eating. It really is important to follow the plan appropriately, and also it's much better to eat fresh, whole foods over the bars and shakes etc. If you feel you have no willpower, come to the board. Plenty of supportive people will talk you back into reality! I look forward to watching your progress, post often!
