    Hello, I am new

    My name is Lisa, mother of 2, divorced, working fulltime. I am on day 12 of induction. Lost 10 pounds, then whammied myself with the low carb bars and sugar free candy. Gained 4 pounds back and today i was back to where i started with a 10 pound loss. I'm not going to do that again. Started to read posts after finding the board about a clean induction and i restarted that sunday. Saturday had to have been my TOM ( sorry guys), that day when you could eat a horse. Horse would be legal lol, i could eat a chocolate bar the size of a horse. As far as diets, I've done it all, i found the zone to be too complicated, and somersize to time oriented for my lifestyle. What brought me to adkins was my mom lost a whole person on it, when i was young. I took the quiz about being sugar intolerant. Above 50 you are intolerant. I scored 70. I have felt so much better and had abundant energy these last few weeks, and I have not had cravings but that one day. I hope to be hear for the "long haul" and beyond.

                thanks

                Thankyou everyone for making me feel very welcome. I got the book, I have read alot of it. I'm feeling great, some people at work have noticed my changes and have started doing this WOE with me. This will be a big help since we were partners in the mid afternoon snacking. Lj

                    Congrats on your weight loss! Just stay away from any frankenfoods during induction and always be careful of them after Induction.

                    Best wishes & welcome.
