Talking intro

Hi, This is my first letter to the group. I have been losing steady and yet I feel impatient. I think I need to interact with others doing the same thing.
I am sticking with induction for the second month. I am happy with my food. Yesterday I got ill from not eating. I never felt hungry. So, I am going to not go more than 6 hrs without eating, while awake. Especially the days I swim. I am disabled so I go swim 3 times a wk for 2 hrs. The hot tub makes me feel so good after the swim.
I live on the south coast of Lake Erie.

Welcome to the forum!

Good idea about not going more than 6 hours without eating.

I also know from my own experience, that our bodies do not loose the weight as fast as we'd like. But rest assured, it will come off! Just in its own sweet time.

Hi Marilyn!

Welcome to the forum! I think that you will find that everyone here is very nice and are willing to help out. Take your time and look around the site and the forum, I think you will find this very helpful. I am in my first week of induction and am doing great and I know I would not be able to do as well if it wasn't for everyone here helping me out.

So here is a big Welcome to you

Have a great day

Hi Marilyn!

You've found the right place. I've been on this diet for over a year and although I have lost 40lbs it is very slow in my case. The guys here have given me all the help and encouragement I need to stick at it. They have also helped me out with many minor problems I've had with this way of eating.

Never allow yourself to get hungry. This diet doesn't work like that!

Congratulations on your weight loss so far - you're doing just great!

Greetings from the other side of the world - Belarus.

Robert
