Default Looking for some buddies.

Hello!

I just started back after a 2 1/2-3 year absense. I had great success the first time around...losing 60 pounds in 7 months. I did this with no cheats, drinking my water and climbing the rungs. Then I started playing mind games with myself and I think I got scared that I might actually succeed. I also fell into the "this one time won't hurt" cycle. Then before you knew it I was fell into the carb abyss. Now I am back...gained it all back plus 4 more. Feeling very sore and dragged down. My migraines are back...my fibramyalsia...my planter fascitis...my hip pain.

I started today. I weighed in at 241. Hoping to do a clean induction.

Breakfast:
Egg fried in Olive oil

Lunch:
Chicken Taco Caesar Salad

Dinner:
Chicken Taco Caesar Salad
Green beans

Anyhow...I am looking for some buddies who have started recently to check in here on the list daily. We can support each other. Discuss any questions anyone has. Post our menus if we want. Whoever is on first can start the new post of the day. Maybe something like 'Buddy check in - Tues' Looking forward to making some new buddies.

Any takers??

my first day went pretty good. i walked for about 20 mins today, did 10 squats, 45 ab crunches, and drank about 100 ozs of water. i took in about 18 carbs. i am a total caffiene junky, and drank about 10 ozs of a diet soft drink, but that's the only thing i felt like i couldn't give up cold turkey. but normally i drink anywhere from 4 to 5 20oz bottles of soda, so i'm not beating myself up for drinking the 10 ozs. hopefully by the end of this week i can completely wean myself off the caffiene. i bought some diet rite soda in 8 oz cans that once i'm totally off caffiene and want a pop to drink for dinner, i can have that and not feel any guilt.

i am on vacation this week so that makes it a little easier to start back since i don't have to be at work and fight off the pains of induction flu. i have a little bit of a headache tonight, but i expected that.

hope your day went well, and we can chat soon.
monie

Good morning monie!

Sounds like your first day went really well! Mine did as well. Maybe you will be one of the lucky people whose body can tolerate the artifical sweetners in the diet pop. It has been known to stall quite a few people. Last time I was one of the lucky ones.

Was very tired yesterday and had a 2 hour nap...which is something I never do and also went to bed at 8pm. Woke at 10:30 and had a migraine darn it! Was hoping I would get away with no induction flu. Hopefully it doesn't last more than 2-3 days. Once I make it through that it starts being much easier and I start feeling more in charge.

I am amazed at the reaction our bodies have as we come off of the sugars and refined carbs. If anything the reaction to the withdrawals should strengthen our resolve to stick to this way of life.

I lost count on my water yesterday...but drank either 9 or 12 cups of water.

Be a good day!

I am not an expert!
When I started the Atkin's diet years ago( lost 43 pounds after 3 months then dropped it. only now years later, to regain it all and then some) I too had bad Migraines! They seemed to be worse when I started induction. A friend sent me to MedicineNet.com. there I learned that most cheeses (expecially those with high Tyramine..found in all sharp cheeses) and high Nitrates found in all processed meats and High Sulphites in Cola are huge trigger's as well as Smoking and other's.
Once I reduced and/ or eliminated my intake of the trigger's I am down to 1 or 2 every 6 months...
I am starting Induction on 6/7/2008, I am starting with a light, smooth &
steady workout routine for a week first (4th day so far so good) as I reduce the Non-Induction foods in my house and stock and plan my meals for day 1 to 14.
I look forward to your progress and the other's that reply to you!

Wow Bill, I know what you mean. I stopped drinking sodas and was eating meat I prepared for myself and then one day, my husband brought home from the butcher some hamburger patties. I said "Something is in these" and he said he couldn't taste anything. It made me feel horrible and I actually had to go to bed early. He went and asked the butcher and they said they put "flavoring" in it. Whatever the **** that is.

Good luck on your journey!

I think I know what the **** is? most butcher's I found out use a product called ACCENT. it is MSG in it's purest form..The number 1 enemy of sufferer's like us. It's overly used at some chinese restaurant's. most feel sick right after eating this product.

Welcome aboard!
I am pretty sure it is just the induction flu. I ate whole foods yesterday...except for caesar dressing and cayenne powder.
Very interesting note about the Accent though. I did not know that. I will concur that MSG is a trigger for the migraines though.
Last time I was on Atkins I had NO migraines for the whole 7 months I was on it. Minus the first week. Also all my other aches and pains went away. I know my body is sensitive to refined foods.
