Thank you for the warm welcome. So far the last three days have been pretty good. I am not used to drinking so much water so I am going to the bathroom alot more than I am used to and was up three times last night to go, LOL, but I am enjoying eating. I have been having a chef's salad for lunch at work and it has been easy to skip the junk. But I have lost some weight so i am very happy!!

Quick question though, can I eat slim jims and beef jerky on induction or are they bad? I am looking for easy to carry snack I can have in my bag ready for when temptaion to grab something quick hits me. I can have a meat snack and be just as satisfied as grabbing the cake or chips or whatever. Atkins says not to go more than three waking hours without eating but I work in a school and cant eat that often so a snack I can grab between things would be perfect.

Thanks, Melissa
