Hi everyone, I ' m new here and just wanted to introduce myself. I ' m just beginning my 5th week of induction and hope to outlast on induction until I am within 30 lbs or so of my goal, so it ' s going to be a long road ahead, but I am determined to make the expedition. I ' ve already lost of total 23 lbs as of Friday morning and couldn ' t be happier with my success wherefore far and have never felt better! I look forward to getting to know all of you as we exchange tips, advice and recipes along the way! [ / icon_biggrin. gif]

Great Start! I would recommend though that you might want to add about five carbs or so and come up to 25 per day. Eat a few nuts sometimes. They are healthy and satisfying. You will need eventually to prevent diet boredom and stress. Having just a few more carbs, and some nuts occasionally will help a lot.
Eat most of your carbs from vegetables. Then you can eat enough to be satisfied and not be overeating what you burn. I buy that there is no immediate need to start that upward trend in carbs until you are much closer to your goal. That ' s what I am doing; keeping the carbs low, as well as the food volume. Please continue to keep us updated on your success!
Good Luck! [ / icon_smile. gif]

congrats on the weight loss!!
Welcome to the forum. I ' ve seen many post from you already. Keep up the great work. You ' re an inspiration for many here, including myself. I can ' t remember the last time I actually followed induction the whole two weeks. I ' ve been in a rut for too long. I mean business now!! [ / icon_biggrin. gif]

Hi! Welcome to the gang. Your results on Atkins are great with one " glaring " exception. Your avatar shows that Atkins has apparently done something horrible to your eyes, better get that checked right away!
