Default Hi Folks

I have been reading this forum for the past month. Got so inspired I started induction 8/13/07 on which I lost 14 lbs, IT ABSOLUTELY WORKS!!! I am presently on day 4 of a week on extended induction, as I haven't fully comprehended the OWL but with all the great information on here I'm sure I will. (Concentrated so much on getting thru induction - its routine now, so gotta read up on OWL )

Just want to thank you all for the inspiration - even the older entries are informative I'm feeling great and actually enjoying my journey. I am a Kiwi living in Florida (married me a lovely American bloke )and doing the diet with my sister who lives in OZ. We are constantly referring to this board for information and are grateful for it!

In fact I got so hooked on reading and coming back to the board, I didn't bother to register, but now Im so excited about what is just amazing to me - actual weightloss while eating well - that I had to get registered!

Im so glad to be part of this great community!

Thanks People
Trish

G'day and welcome! Sooo glad to see you are reading and learning how to do this forever. It's fine if you concentrate on the phase you are in until you get close to moving up the ladder. Keeps you from getting confused. After you have, say, Induction mastered, then move on to learning how the next phase works (and why it works) and you'll have a smooth transition.

Come on over to the "How Long Can You Go??? challenge. It gives you accountability and support. Here's a little bit about it and a link to the thread.

And you get the reward of posting "cheat free for ___ weeks". Maybe I will be able to get one of the technical know-howers to make us some blinkies for our siggies. Who wants to join me? Sign on up!
