7 lbs in my first 7 days!!

[lchance]

Hey everyone. I just finished my first week. I am 33 y.o., starting weight was 205, current weight is 198, goal weight is 145. My sister just completed her first month (all induction oriented) and she has gone down 3 sizes...from 14 to 8.

I am SOO excited this actually works and it is something that is doable. I am excersing and taking my JuicePlus (www.juiceplus.com). So, I really believe I will succeed in this. My only issue is my love of wine...it's been hard to give up. I plan to do induction for at least 4 weeks. EEK....it will be tough. THat is why I am signing on to this board for moral support! I love all to read all of your stories as well. It is so motivating.

Good luck to you all! This is going to be GREAT!!

Welcome LChance!
You are right, it is GREAT.
Can you do wine ... tasting ... and just spit it out?
Have not heard of the juice thing ... is that ok re: fruits and sugars?

Hi LChance!
I too adore wine! It has been hard to give it up but the results are worth it - trust me. I am only 7 days in (clean induction) and already feel amazing.

I found a little mind trick that may help - this past Friday and Saturday nights, I put lots of ice into my large wine glass, a slice of lime (very thinly cut) and drank my water from it all night. It worked a bit. I tried to forget that it wasn't wine - and because of the lime taste it did trick my mind into thinking it was something different from the water I had been drinking all day!

I woke up Monday morning feeling soooooooo proud that I had gone a whole weekend without any wine or any drinkies at all apart from the beloved water.... that was a better feeling than having a glass of wine!

Try it! Hope it helps! We can do this!!!!

Ahhh my glass of red....miss it, but not as much as I thought I would. I replaced my nightly glass of wine with a chamomile tea....I know....not the same. But it became my new nightly ritual which made it easier to stay away from the vino. Plus I sleep like a baby! Nice job so far. I look forward to hearing about your progress.
