Well I have been having bites of this and that that I'm not suppose to have, and also sugar alcohols. Does anyone want to do a 7 week CLEAN induction - no sugar alchols, shakes, bars? NO CHEATS!!!! I say ok to diet soda. And also exercising 3 times a week drinking at least 64 oz of water a day? This would be from Agust 25 to October 13? Anyone interested?

I'm almost doing this already...I guess a cheat that i'm doing is a square of a ross chocloate bar each night (about the size of a stick of gum) and I think I had 2 glasses of white wine last week. Is a cheat something like a homemade cheesecake that's made LC? is a cheat something like nuts? Or is cheating anything over 20 carbs a day? Could you define a cheat more...then I'll join you no prob!
I mean, look I have a cheatfree icon and I might, or someone could say I have cheated but WHAT IS CHEATING?? I define it as going over 20 carbs a day.

P.S. I could stop the SF chocolate and alchol no prob for the clean induction

ohh ohh I just relized it is for "7" weeks not a 7 day week...

NEVERMIND !!!!

By cheat I mean following it in the book to the tee. So no nuts. Only foods on page 72-73 in DANDR book. And yes 20 carbs or less. I plan on being on Induction without moving to another phase for the entire 7 weeks. So anyone who wants to join make sure to read over those pages. The more basic it is the easier the weight loss should be. So cheesecake would be fine since I think all the ingredients are on those pages in the book. I hope I don't sound like a hard ass or anything, just want to do it by the book for maximum loss!

Posting of daily menus/calories/fat/protein, exercise, water intake would be great, plus support and comments. Whatever anyone wants.

Ohh no your not sounding like a hard ass ..just someone that wants to get serious and likes a challange..so do I but vacation will be on oct 2 and theres no way at disney world and the disney boat i could do that..I mostly doing this for my vacation and will go back on after the vacation...If i wasn't going I WOULD DO THIS WITH YOU!!! sounds like a hell of a weight losing challange. Blessings to anyone joining her!

I would love to do this with you. I have been CHEATING for about 3 months now, need to get back on track!! Vacation threw me off HORRIBLY!!
I'm ready to go!!!!
Let's do it!!

I'll do it with you! October 28th is going to be my 30th birthday. A big weight loss is the best present I could give myself for the occasion. Maybe it will help me look forward to hitting the ol' 30 mark, instead of sick to my stomach. This is my 3rd week of Atkins and day before yesterday, I actually restarted my induction. I have been cheating the entire time too. All low, or no, carb items like a little Reddi Whip here and a glass of wine there, but I have consistently stayed under 20 carbs
a day. Mid-way thru my 2nd week, I was actually in full on Ketosis for 3 days. I was so excited. Went to a party.. had a couple Jack Daniels w/diet soda... went straight out of ketosis. Restarted induction 2 days ago and still not a ketone in sight. Yikes! Let me tell ya... that purple keto stick was like a big victory flag waving around as I ran thru the house to show it to my boyfriend (also on Atkins). It made me feel 10 times better than that drink ever could. Let's do it. 7 dedicated weeks. I really want to look good for my b-day and everyday thereafter. Ready...Set...Go! Good luck!

Ok. 7 weeks. I can do that. Starting tomorrow. You betcha. (Gulp) I'm in--let's go!

Hey guys! This starts tomorrow!! I would really like to have someone to compare notes with through this time. I haven't LC'd cheat free since end of May before my vacation.....would love some company!!

Ok going to put the weights of everyone together and then we can all weigh in on Ocotber 13th. If anyone else joins copy and paste the list adding your start weight. I'm ready guys.

I find scales to be very discouraging. I normally gage my weight loss by how my clothes fit. The only reason that I knew my weight is because I had just gone to the doctor. Hmmm... to buy a scale, or not to buy a scale... that is the dilemma.

I'll be posting my totals and everything else later tonight I have class till 9pm I think.

I would love to join you as I have been cheating on and off for the last three months but I am off to Germany to see my brother next weekend and I can't stand putting my sister in law through the trauma of feeding me on a diet. Rather than using this as an excuse though I would like to join in with you all for six weeks. I will post on 1st September and log my weight and then off I go! I go to Australia for the holiday of a lifetime on 23rd November and really, really want to be in a UK size 14 by then. I am edging into an 18 at the moment. I started at 26 so it has been going well.

Welcome foxy and easyrider! I put your current weight on the first page in a post with everyones starting weight. I'm going to weigh in weekly on Mondays. The starting weights are to compare in 7 weeks from now, because I know not everyone likes to weigh in weekly.

Well I did no exercise today, won't be doing it on Mondays or Wednesdays due to class.

My food today
2 hamburger patties
Vienna Sausages
Bell Peppers
2 fried eggs w/ butter

I stepped on the scale after I posted earlier it said 195. If it says that tomorrow morning then I will take that as 195.
You know what is so depressing my boyfriends legs and mine are the same exact size. Tomorrow morning I have to run to school for a few minutes after that I'll come home and do my work out tape. I found 64 hamburgers for $20, frozen, 100% beef, 30 grams of fat. I thought that was a pretty good deal and a lot of fat which I love! I have a bag of chips on my counter they are driving me insane. I'm going to make my boyfriend take them home before I eat them!
