Hello Tatenda,

Welcome to the bb and congratulations on your 8 pound weight loss. It sounds
like you've had a good week already. Do you have Dr. Atkins book? Make sure
that you have it and read it along with getting the support on this bb. It will be
a great support as you work your way down to that 150 pounds. Also, another
great resource for you is Fitday.com. It is a free site that many of us use to track
our carbs everyday. I mentioned that because I noticed that you asked a question
about eggs on another thread. Just make sure that you're counting your carbs.
There are many recipe options for induction so take a look at the recipes. You'll find options that you might enjoy like the mock danish.

Glad you're on board!

You'll get the hang of everything soon enough
Hope your low-carb day is going fine.

As far as ticker is concerned click on anyone's ticker (like mine) and it will take you to the ticker home. There you will find instructions on how to make your own.

Hi Tatenda,

Once you fill in all the information for the ticker it will give you a bb code. Copy and paste the bb code into the signature area of your "user CP" in the area where you want it to appear. Then you can take a look at the signature and the ticker should be there. I am on a Macintosh but it should work the same way on your computer with a right click.

Re: hi aiming to loose 100lbs

Tatenda,

I'm not sure your eating enough by what you've posted. Day one looks pretty good but day 2 looks a little light. I know this is hard but you don't need to starve yourself right now. So, here's the first thing I think you should do.
1) Don't panic... trust the process - this way of eating works
2) Go to Fitday.com... it's free, quite a few of us keep track of our foods there. Make sure you're eating enough during the day. Once you've tracked your foods in Fitday you can give us an idea of what your overall numbers are and we can let you know how you're doing.
3) Don't weigh everyday right now. Try and give yourself the first 14 days of induction to adjust to the program. Some people go up a little during the first 3 days and then their weight drops. So, it's not a great idea to weigh everyday right now.
4) Did you buy Ketostix? If so, by day 2 or 3 you can check to see if you are in Ketosis. If so, you are on the right track.

I hope you are eating some other veggies. You've listed lettuce, spinach & onions. There is a long list of allowed veggies...give some a try.

Good luck in your journey!
