Hi everybody,

I just realized that I hadn't posted any progress since I posted my
"starting over" thread. I haven't been successful with sticking to
Induction completely, but I have stayed well under 30 carbs/day with a
few days actually around 10. I'm not stressing about that, though,
since I have lost weight anyway. It's not as fast as when I stick with
Induction to the letter, but I fell better and less deprived so I think
I'm more likely to stick with this.

I've been doing this for a little over 2 weeks now and have lost 7
pounds. This is not as fast as the 13 I lost in the first week last
time, but then, I didn't stay on it for very long that time, either
I'm feeling much better now, and I even have a friend that is watching
her carbs as well. She's not doing Atkins, but she is still willing to
make sure that wherever we eat dinner is low-carb friendly so I don't
blow it. And my hubby is helping out, too, by bringing home things
that I can eat. On a side note, he found some Soy chocolate milk that
has 1 net carb per serving (5 total, 4 fiber) that is sweetened with
sucralose. I don't know if I just really wanted something chocolate or
if my milk craving was that bad, but I thought it tasted really really
good.

Anyway, just wanted to post my progress. It helps when the scale
doesn't move for a few days to take a look at the whole picture and
write it down. Thanks for reading.

Amanda
