    Lurker coming out

    I've been lurking around here and I finally decided to join in and introduce myself.
    I started induction on 2/4/08. I've been using the strips to test for ketone and they always turn pink (a shade between mod & large). I've been following the list of allowed foods but not counting calories and drink 100 oz of water a day.
    I have a long way to go but I think this is going to be what works for me. I hope it will anyway.
