[maggiedee]

Hi im on day 8, and as of last saturday I have lost 5lb, so happy when I stood on the scales, thats 1lb more than my goal, really thrilled...... I just hope this week goes as well... im hoping to loose 4 lb this week...... please god! I must say that I experienced bad headaches on day 3/4 of induction but as per all the advice I received here (thanks again) they went away and I felt better by day 5 and now i feel great.

Congratulations! Keep up the good work! I am new to atkins, and still on induction as well! I never even thought that carbs were the culprit. i tried the low fat diets, and never had results like this! I am so glad that my dr. told me to go on this diet! I feel better than ever! I too had the induction flu, but it passed quickly! Look foward to seeing your ongoing progress! Have a great day!

Horray! I was watching Queer Eye for the Straight Guy last night and it was about weight loss and they showed what 1 lb of fat looked like.... UGGGHHHH.... and you lost five of those!!!!

Monday was my one week induction anniversary and I got on the scales (just cause I was very curious since my jeans were a bit loose without doing the out of the dryer lunges LOL) and I was down 6 1/2 lbs!!!!

I am experiencing a bit of a headache this morning but I'm trying to get in some water and see what happens because I don't want to take anything. Which leads me to a question regarding medication - how does all that factor into Atkins during induction? I know cough syrups have sugars as well as some other medications but what to you do if you're on Induction and get sick?

I have to say that I tried Atkins before on my own and I wasn't very successful. Finding ADBB has been a Godsend and I know that with all the support, encouragement, sample menus, etc. that it's going to have a significant impact on my success.

I also go to the before and after pics posting when I'm feeling like I need a boost - seeing them just makes me realize that there are so many people who have been successful on Atkins and I am going to be one of them!
