Default 1st day on induction

Hello all. I'm new to this board and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 22 years old and just started induction today. I've been thinking about doing Atkins for a while, but I don't know what really made me decide to start now. (I guess I just got tired of being tired and uncomfortable with myself). Anyway, so far so good. I started the morning with a little exercise and stuck to the eating plan and drank 10 glasses of water. Anyways, what I didn't know was that there was a pizza party today at work (and it smelled sooooo good), but I kept telling myself that one slice of pizza cannot bring my as much joy as having a healthy and slim body will. Yay me! I figured I need to take it one day at a time. And since I made it through the day, congrats to me! If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. I have a lot of weight to lose, but I'm in this for the long haul. My current/starting weight is 245 and my goal weight is 135.

If you feel a little rough for the first few days...dont worry. It soon passes and the pounds soon start falling away.

Hope to see you around here lots.

Thanks to everyone for responding with words of encouragement. I'm happy to report that I am now on day 5 of a CLEAN induction and I feel really good. I weighed myself today (after which I made my dad hide the scale and only give it to me on fridays) and so far I have lost a whopping 5 pounds!! So thanks again for the encouragement, and I'll keep you updated!

Welcome and congrats on your first day of success! Today was my second day in induction and i keep telling myself the same things. Good job on skipping that pizza. It is hard but sooooo worth it.


Ask for help anytime you need it cause the people here are so great and helpful.

Good luck in your induction!
