Hi everyone!!! I am introducing myself. I am 31 years old I have 3 girls and 1 boy . I started walking and watching what I ate in Oct. and have lost 20 pds, but I wasn't seeing the results I wanted fast enough so a friend and I decided we would try this. I have lost 3 pounds since I started induction and I am on my 3rd day but I am finding that I am extremely tired and craving chocolate and have a dry mouth even though I am drinking alot alot alot of water .
Well that is me... and I hope to find alot less of me real soon

welcome to ADBBand to Atkins. your dry mouth is a symptom of your Atkins keep dringking as Atkins is a natural diuretic plan. the rest are part of what we call induction flu and are very normal.

Glad you got a support system already. check out our exerciae challenges for some more motivation to workout.

Happy low carbing

Hi Misty and welcome to !!

Good for you on the pounds lost so far! Be strong and stay away from the "sweet" (splenda and other artifical sweetners) stuff and you're cravings will go away. It takes awhile to break that habit...but you can do it!

Check out the 14 Day Induction forum, there's a lot of great support there and other people in the same Atkins phase!

Hope to see you around the board!
