Anyone starting induction?!?!
Was wondering whether anyone is starting induction on 8th March?
Would be great to have a couple of buddies to motivate and compare notes etc!!! Cheers - Lindy |
Lindy,
I'll be RE-starting tomorrow morning . . . I'd lost 31 pounds but went on a Service Trip for 9 days and gained back 4.5, so I'm going to be going back to a strict 2-week Induction again. Is this your first time on this WOE? If so, I think you'll like it! Let us know how your first week is going, OK? Sue |
Hi Sue!
This is a re-start for me too!!! I have been low-carbing since July and have had some good results ... however! my fondness for cheats has meant that any weight-loss has been wiped out ... also have to cut down on my wine drinking that was also creating havoc with my waistline!!! Have re-read the induction chapter in the Atkins book and am fired up! How are you with the water drinking Sue? Do you find it easy? I like it although prefer sparkling water ... makes it more 'interesting'!!! Lindy! PS - what are your typical meal plans? |
Pick me! Pick me! :lol:
Okay, I've already started, but that's because today is Monday 8th here in Oz. (Most of the world is really backwards compared to us. :p ) I've decided to be very bold for once and not weigh myself until at least the end of my two weeks Induction. Possibly because I just don't want to know what I weigh at present... (Hot cross buns oughta be banned) Great good luck to us all! Roz |
Cool!!!! I have actually started another challenge called the 'Formula 1 challenge' ... as I am a F1 nut I thought I would use the start of the F1 season to kick-start my Atkins WOE ... today was the first race and I am 206.4 pounds ... I plan not to step on the scales until the next race in a fortnight ... hopefully by this time I would have dropped to 200 ... fingers crossed!!!
That said though, it is soooooooooooooooo tempting to step on the scales a couple of times a day!!!! Lindy |
Once I get going, water is no problem--I drink 100oz or more a day of the stuff.
UNTIL I get into ketosis, though, water doesn't taste very good to me. Weird, huh? I crave diet soda and coffee (yep, caffeine addict) the first few days . . . sigh. The hardest part for me this time around, I think, will be ditching the bars and nuts. I'm going shopping tonight, so I'll let you know what I eat tomorrow! :-) I'm planning on lots of eggs, chicken, spinach, salad, etc. Good luck to all those who are Re-starting!!! Ready, set, GO! Sue |
Hi Lindy and Sue,
Well my first day had mixed results. I certainly stayed on Induction okay, but wound up not taking in very much. My problem was that I'm coincidentally withdrawing from caffeine and wound up with a nasty headache and losing my lunch and... Today should be a more normal day. I hope you two have had a great Day 1! :) Cheers. Roz |
Hi Roz!!!
My first day went well - no cheats and pretty strightforward ... sorry about your illness Roz - hope that you are better now! Will post full meals in my journal!!! Will check in tomorrow!!! ... or do you think that it is a good idea that we have our daily menus on here so we can compare?!?!? Speak soon!!! Lindyx |

My meals will be posted in my journal, but you can put 'em here too if you like. :) I'm fine today, thanks, and I'm glad to hear you had a good day. :thup: Roz |
Hi Roz and Lindy!
My first day "Back" went OK, but I felt antsy and hungry for much of it. Carb withdrawal?? Honestly, I could still eat more . . . Isn't it weird how eating carbs can make you want to eat more while you're working them out of your system?? As long as I stay true to the WOE, I have no cravings or hunger pangs. Going off for a day or two brought them all back. Sigh. Anyhow, I ate the following: Breakfast 2 eggs, 1 piece Am. Cheese, 2 Jimmy Dean sausage patties Snack cup of decaf, 1/2 packet stevia, 1 TBL cream Lunch a big bowl of chicken salad (chicken + mayo) w/lettuce Dinner 8oz pork loin (cooked w/garlic, Chinese 5-spice, olive oil) and steamed broccoli w/butter Dessert (I hope I didn't blow it!) A piece of Atkins cheesecake I drank 64 oz of water, but am still slurping away! :roll: Hang in there tomorrow! Sue |
I restarted yesterday too,. My weight over the last year has yo-yo'd (on'n'off LC) by 21 pounds 4 times in the last year. I'm now the heaviest I've ever been.
Yesterday - 1/4 chicken for lunch, staek and salad for dinner and a small bag of macadamias for late night snack. |
Can I jump on here and start today? I know I'm a day late, but I need to go back on Induction for two weeks!

Hi ButterflyA!!!
No problem, anyone can join whenever they like!!! I am enjoying re-tarting induction and it makes it so much easier with others doing it too!!! Remember to have a food log in your journal so we can nosy at what you have eaten throughout the day!!! Lindy |
Good morning! Day 2 of Re-Induction!
Welcome to ButterflyA and LondonIan. I think I got Roz's headache this morning, but I am not a caffeine drinker. Is it possible that I have a "carb withdrawal" headache after only having 2 or 3 "carby" days? I was on a very clean low carb Atkins plan for 3 months prior to my "evil carb-fest". I can't figure it out. :-( Anyhow, food-wise all is well, and I hope everyone is having a great day! I don't have a journal, though, to record my eating. How do you get one? Sue |
Well, today I’ve already drank about 80 oz. of water for the day (and it’s only 12:30 pm my time) so for me, that is a success! :)
