It's really not all that awful! I plan to do at least the full two weeks and may just stay on induction for the whole of January. Depends on how much weight I lose. I really want to get within 10 lbs of my goal before slowing way down again. I proved to myself over the holidays that I can manage to maintain ... so I just need to make a bigger dent in my total loss before I start "settling" in for the long haul of long term maintenance.
