Default Every day is looking a bit brighter!

I am in my 8th day of Induction and feeling great! The first 3 were pretty hard including headaches, fatigue, flu symptoms. I have found the board to be very helpful and supportive in making it through the first week. I probably would have quit on the 3rd day if I hadn't have been informed on what to expect. I am finding that the sugar and caffeine cravings are gone. The cravings for the Michelob Ultra at night are gone. My appetite has really changed. I am rarely hungry and have to make myself eat. I have found some great recipes on this site and can't wait to try them.

I know that I do not have as much to loose as some of the others but, at 43 have found it impossible to diet. I have to see results in order to stick with it. Nothing I tried gave me any results and found it difficult to stay with it. I understand now that it was the addiction to caffeine and sugars that were hindering my weight loss. I am a believer and encourage anyone to try it. If you are struggling through the first few days stick with it! You will see results. It is worth it.
