Hi,
Started yesterday on induction. Did Atkins last year for first time and lost about 22 lbs over about 3 months. Kept it off for a while but put about 7 back on and then whilst I've been off work ill for the last 8 weeks I've put another 7 back on. Determined to do it again but will need support to maintain as I seem to be able to do either one or the other; loose or gain. Going to a wedding on the 8th August and would like to loose 14 lbs by then if possible. Going to a party on Sunday and it will be hard to not have a glass of wine especially if the weathers nice and we're outside.

Welcome to the board, nicj!

Sorry to hear that you were sick; I hope you're all better now!

Parties can be hard in the early days of induction but just keep in mind that your health is more important than any glass of wine! Keep a glass of water in your hand as much as possible and maybe dress it up with a slice of lemon on the rim. Later you'll be glad you did!

Good luck to you!

Glad you found your way back! It is tough during parties but it is only one day so hang in there.
