The old-schoolers on the board can confirm this for you, but my understanding is that the more you have to lose to start with, the more you'll lose on Induction or near-Induction carb levels.

Can I just say that I think it is so freaking awesome that you're doing this? A lot of people at your weight don't even want to try. And a lot of them aren't nearly strong enough to walk around the parking lot. (I bet you'd take to strength training really well, if you ever feel up to trying it at the gym.)

For whatever it's worth, I think you're off to a great start and I admire your courage.
