Default New Member...on Day 3

Hello All...

My name is Debbie and I am on Day 3 of Induction. A few months ago I weighed 165. I lost about 12 pounds by just being very conscious of what I was eating and watching my portion sizes.

On Day 1 of Induction I weighed 152.8....This morning I was 148.8. I am hoping to reach my goal of 135 in the next couple of months.

I am confused about the rungs everyone speaks about on OWL....I do not recall this in the book by Dr. Atkins.

Also...how do you add the weight tracker and photos to your post? It looks like everyone has a "signature" that includes this.

Debbie

Hi Debbie,

Welcome to ADBB Well done on the weight loss so far.

The rungs are just the different stages of ongoing weight loss (OWL) - the rungs of what he refers to as 'The Carbohydrate Ladder'. Have you got the 2002 edn of Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution - that is the one we all use here

To edit your signature go the User CP (along the top) and then 'edit signature'. You get can weight tickers from various places. I used www.tickerfactory.com.

Best of luck and see you around the boards
