make sure on induction you get at least 12-15 net carbs a day from the salad list:
Atkins - Acceptable Foods

You should eat 12-15 net carbs a day of vegetables. These salad vegetables are high in phytonutrients and provide a good source of fiber: * alfalfa sprouts, * daikon, * mushrooms, * arugula, * endive, * parsley, * bok choy * escarole, * peppers, * celery,* fennel, * radicchio, * chicory * jicama * radishes * chives * lettuce * romaine lettuce * cucumber * māche * sorrel

Hello all -
I just really started a clean induction the past few days. Feels great to be into it now and seeing the el-bee's coming off like they should. Like everyone says in the BB you have to be strict to get results. Exercise is required and good once you get going for a few days. The exercise challenges are good because they make you do it. Fitday.com is also a great tool to plan meals.
This is the best group - I've learned a lot and credit that to some success so far.
Good luck everyone. Post your progress, issues and questions...and answers I know I need them! I'll do the same.
Glenn

Oh wow!! I wasn't expecting to get so many responses, but I did! Hurrah! Welcome everyone! I'm so glad that we are all here on this journey together. =)

Let me tell you a little story, one that actually happened yesterday....

I had planned on starting Atkin's yesterday because I could not wait any longer to do it. I was that excited about doing it again and losing weight. Well, I work in the Medical Field and you never know what is going to happen in a day, never, SInce I am doing prehospital care as an EMT and all. Well, yesterday, I come to work with my huge jug of water and my prepared food, all ready to rock and roll, when I find out that I will be working off campus instead of on campus like I usually do. On Campus is what I do. I work at this hospital where we transport patients back and forth from one building to the main building for procedures and stuff. And off campus, well, that's just driving all over the place and all.

So, I had no cooler or anything with me, and I left my food in the fridge at work. And I was all bummed out because I knew I wasn't able to eat it or anything.

But suprisingly enough, we got back to station for only a few minutes and I grabbed my salad and the tuna I made. I chowed down on the salad and I ate the tuna around 4:30 or so.

I didn't get to eat the rest of it until 9pm and I was STARVING!!! Seriously.

So much for the first day of doing this way of life, but I stuck through it.

And I think that is motivation enough that you all can do it too. =)

If you need anywhere to run to, just go hear and I'll try to be helpful as possible. Don't forget your veggies and your water!

Kick some butt today everyone!

-Bekka

Wow.. Good for you!!!

I felt the same way about today, until this morning came around But the pastries are still sitting untouched by me in our break-room.

I'm more like a thousandth-restarter, so its not that I dont know what I should be doing, I'm just a bad girl. I think some live support will be GREAT this time around.

TO HEALTH!

Lol. I'm in the same boat you are!! I'm in the millionth quadrillionth time around. I just give into temptation after a while. But I think this will be easier this time because I don't have to look at food all day. =)

To us and to health!! -clink-

So here i am munchin on some peppers and turkey pepperoni and sipping on some water determined to let this be my last time. I am such an emotional eater and really neeed to work on that... i love sweets so i'm hoping to kick bad habit w/ atkins.

Of course you may tag along Tasha!! Anyone is more than welcome to join our little buddy group. The more people, the better!! =) I just hope that this time all of us can stick it through and lose those evil pounds that need to be lost.

I'm an emotional eater too. And it's no fun that I find myself with a tub of icecream and chips and salsa all together. Those are the worst for me, but it's something I need to work on. I'm doing good so far, I've done one day without even cheating. =) And today will be day 2. =) I think tomorrow I am going to take my dog out for a walk around the neighborhood, get the heart pumping, you know?

I'm not much into excercise either, so uh, ya. I hate getting sweaty. At least I have a pool to swim in if I wanted to. Which I might do tomorrow, but taking those stupid circle things out of the pool is such a hassle and so annoying. Can't believe my mom bought them. Stupid idea in my opinion.

So, everyone just keep updating on how you're doing because I want to know. I will try to give good advice. It doesn't have to be about weight loss, it can be about anything. I'm a very understanding person, I think?

Well, I'm at work. I think I'm going to eat a little something before I have to run my *** to the ground again. Man yesterday sucked.

hello! I'm on board here. Granted I haven't just started, I've been on atkins for a few months. But my exercise habits have been less than habitual, and my drinking on the weekends is a no-no, as I haven't trusted myself to start climbing up the rungs yet. I'm going to move to rung 1 starting next monday. I'd like to be able to follow others' progress and be a part of this thread. Hooray for monday!

And you're right, no more holidays to throw us off track!

Bekka,
I'm so impressed by your story about leaving your lunch in the fridge and being super hungry and not messing up. We've all been in a situation like that, but it's hard to maintain when things get chaotic. The fact that you kept on going.....that's truly an inspiration. You will do it this time, sounds like you have the will power to succeed. I wish you the best and please keep us posted!
