New to the Board, Day 6 of Induction

[bmarie]

Hi all, I'm just wrapping up my first week of induction and am down 6 lbs. I know initially it's water weight, but I still feel pretty good about it. I have about 30 lbs to lose. Looking forward to chatting and learning along with all of you. Here's to a successful journey!

BMARIE,
That's excellent, and a great incentive for next week.
Good job keep going, each day is a step closer to goal.

Welcome to the Atkins Board.

Glad you found the board and have finished your first week of induction. A few tips to help get you started: Drink a minimum 64 ounces of pure water daily (nothing added), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin - these are mandatory with Atkins so start now and get off on the right foot.

Make sure you read the book - it will give you the knowledge you need to get to your goal (2002 Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution [DANDR]), eat only the foods on the acceptable food list and eat a variety of foods and vegetables.

Good luck to you!

Re: New to the Board, Day 6 of Induction

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the words of encouragement. Today has been a real bummer and I had that urge to eat something I shouldn't have. I resisted, but it was tough...emotional eating (ugh). Does that ever get better?

Re: New to the Board, Day 6 of Induction

it will get better -- once you learn to control your emotions and find something to do in place of eating you'll be fine. Hang in there.

Re: New to the Board, Day 6 of Induction

I don't know that I think it ever gets completely better. I have a lot more control and a lot less emotional eating doing this diet BUT I still have those days that I fight tooth and nail to keep from eating something I want for comfort. I'm just glad I'm not continuing to grow larger any longer.
