Lightbulb Starting Induction September 1st!

Hi Everyone,

Britt here... I'm a self employed, happily married, mom of two boys. I was born in the UK but now live in the beautiful State of New Hampshire, USA.

Monday September 1st I'll be starting induction. I used to be able to control my weight with exercise and calorie counting but as I get older it's getting more and more difficult! I did Atkins with much success a few years ago and now realise that this is the only way for me.

I'm sick of the binging/starving routine. This is a whole new beginning and I'm so excited!! I look forward to chatting with you all. Let's do this together

Brightstar,

That's great. Have you done Atkins before? What are you planning on having for breakfast? I'm going with scrambled eggs - they always keep me full for a long time!

For breakfast tomorrow I'm thinking of having an omelet with a tablespoon of cheese, some mushrooms, and 3 pieces of nitrate free bacon. I will also use a tablespoon of avocado oil to make the omelet. I have not done Atkins before. I've read about it, but this is my first time trying Atkins. But I am not new to low carb though.

This is my 2nd time around. My last time I made the mistake of treating Atkins as a diet - now I know that (for me anyway) it must be a way of life! Good luck Brightstar and keep in touch. It'll be good to compare notes and get some inspiration along the way.

I will. Have you made it over to STAC or 14 day induction board yet. I'm reading through those right now.

Hi Britt! Welcome to the site. Ahhhh New Hampshire. I love it. I currently live in North Carolina...moved here from Connecticut 2 months ago. I will let you know if the North Carolina Fall can compare with New England.

Hey Razzle & Linda,

Thanks for the welcome! Linda I'm glad to hear you're sticking with it - I've been known to cheat myself but I'm determined this time to do it by the book.

Razzle... maybe the fall won't be quite as beautiful but I'd take
North Carolina winters over the New Hampshire one's any day LOL

Keep in touch
