Starting Again :(

[ajakol]

I was wondering if anyone would like to go thru the INDUCTION H*LL with me?
I know we have to go thru it in order to feel better but all I can say is "I don't like it - not one bit" I didn't like it the first time around but since I didn't stay on Atkins like a good girl I have to pay the price. (I did lose weight and looked and felt good - Why? WHy? WHY? Didn't I behave myself?)
So if anyone is planning on starting again tomorrow - I will be a good sounding board. You can listen to me whine and I will listen to you whine.

Hey there! I started the first of the year and already blew it this weekend, so I'll be re-starting tomorrow too!

Re: Starting Again

ajakol-

Hi! I am so glad you came back, and I am in the same situation. My detour has consisted of 4 months and over 20 pounds! I cannot figure out why I am unable (of course it is a choice, it is NOT beyond my control) to complete a clean induction again and get back on track. When I started in June, I did a clean 2 week induction using absolutely no artificial sweeteners and drank only water! I lost over 15 pounds during that time- and I don't have a ton to lose, we are very similar in our stats. I can't describe how wonderful I felt. I was on track and on plan for 3 months, and lost over 40 pounds!

Now why did I stray? I can't explain why, and I didn't have any excuses at the time. I just though "well, I can have this one time, I have been doing awesome, and it won't effect me too badly." Obviously not the case!

Lets start together tomorrow, and get through this. It just takes that clean Induction to get on track and ready to go! You can do this!!

Re: Starting Again

Hey!

I am not "starting" tomorrow, but I had so much weight to lose (about 80 pounds) that even though I've lost 30 pounds, I am still on induction. I started a new social group in hopes to find members like you who need a good support group. Check it out, all of you

Hope to hear from you soon! And I'm sure you'll all do great.

Re: Starting Again

I, too, am starting again, and I have no idea why I got off it in the first place. It was the easiest "diet"(WOE) I've ever done, the food was great, never boring for me....yet here I am again.

Today is day 7, and I did not get induction flu this time. I don't know why, but I'm thankful! Here's to us ALL sticking with it this time and reaching our goals!

Re: Starting Again

I am hoping to pass on the induction flu also!!!

I made it one day - We have so many basketball games in the next few weeks - and all of that popcorn. (I am sing - Say a little prayer for me)

Good luck to all and talk to you soon.

Re: Starting Again

Like I always say..."Nobody likes a quitter!" Maybe the second time will be a charm. I almost cheated yesterday without even knowing it. I made steak, baked potatoes and green beans for dinner (I had mine without the potatoes of course). As we were finishing up, my daughter handed me her plate and I without even realizing it started to scoop up some potatoes and was probably didn't realize what I was doing until the potato passed my lips. It was fortunate that I was able to stop myself before the potatoes left the fork. Eating those foods are a habit that we are trying to break.

Re: Starting Again
