Hi girls.....I started induction again on Monday ('cause I was bad bad bad...and kinda went off plan....dang carbs!!!). Soooooo this makes me 4 days cheat free...woohooooooooooo

Good luck to both of you!

Hi ladies, I'd like to join in here if it's ok. I've been doing atkins for almost 4 months, but last week slipped BAD, and I'm back on induction. I find I'm most comfortable doing this. Otherwise my cravings get out of control.

I love your attitudes, your gonna do this!! Great job making it through the first few days, a lot of people say they are the hardest, and I have to agree.

I'll share a little about me. I'm 29, married with two boys (1 & 2). I've struggled with my wieght from little on. Finally lost a bunch and kept it off until I got pregnant and then it was all down hill. Started my first pregnancy at 150 and managed to reach 221 back in June. I started Atkins on my 29 birthday, so it is my ultimate goal to be at my goal wieght by the time I turn 30, I want to be healthier and sexier than ever!!

So good luck to everyone, we are gonna do this!!

ozzycrazy and skylee...WELCOME!!!!! I am soo excited to see new people come here and join us!!!! 5 days cheat free now!!! lets all keep in contact and keep the encouragement going!!!!

Rock on GIRLS!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!! Yesterday, was yep tempting come nightime, found myself wanting to emotionally eat...Thank God I had just went to the grocery and had plenty of low carb/no carb stuff to eat. Man, for me it's more mental I think than anything else, but I AM CHOOSING and in CONTROL of what I put in my mouth!! I am 4 days now cheat free and steady .....I hate that time of the month, these are usually my worst days....but I have to say I don't have the crazy cravings right now, probably 'cause I'm in induction...has to be why. I am in ketosis and thrilled, but tempted to want to get on the scale everyday, and know I'm not just going to loose pounds but inches, as a Wise browniz30 teaches me. What would I do without ya browniz30? I'm telling all ppl who join this thread...we will support and uplight each other always!! POWER IN NUMBERS!!

Hi girls,
I failed on some days of my induction that I started ot the 4th. So far I have lost 5 pounds though, but this weekend is a test because I am at my parents and they dont prepare low crb meals. I will have to finds ways of politely refusing....help.

Same here Chriskar....I'm going to my inlaws all weekend....and there's always lot's of junk food around....yikes!!! Will try to stay cheat free...

chriska, great job on the loss of 5lbs. Good luck at your parents, I know how hard it can be when your away. Maybe pack yourself a few LC snacks in case you get in a pinch. So you slipped up a few a times on induction, try not to look at it as "failing", most of us have done this, just pick up where you left off and continue with what you were doing and the lbs. will continue to melt off. Really, you're doing GREAT!!

Ozzy, good luck at the in-laws also. Stay strong, maybe explain what you are doing. Hopefully they will be happy for you and encourage you with your new WOL.

Greeniz and Browniz, you two are doing great. I love your attitudes!! Very inspiring to read how to determined you both are.

I agree, WE WILL DO THIS!!

Ladies, I have stumbled.....but not defeated!!! I went out last night with a friend, and tied on a good one!! I had rum with diet coke, then some beer!!!Man, I haven't done that in YRS!! But I got up and still stayed true to my eating right and didn't go all the way and let myself go and eat anything and everything. Hang over's tend you make your body especially crave foods. I did drink tons of water too, which is good. The only thing I did do today was eat a bag of popcorn, which I know is a no no, but hey....I'll be back on top in the morning...I just HAD to have something to chew on!! . Sorry girls, sorry, Donna...but I AM NOT DOWN!! I'm still in this for LIFE and that's just the way it's GONNA BE!! Keep Rockin' girls!! WE CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS!!!
