9 days into induction

[laura1971]

Hi all!
Im just over half way through the induction phase. I am very proud of myself as I really didnt think I'd make it through the first day. I've lost 11pnds so far! I know that I will not keep losing this much wt every week, however, it sure is a great start. I feel pretty good. The only thing that really bothers me, is, I keep craving baked potatoes and bread. Anyways, the best of luck to us all here on a journey to a healthier self.
Laura.
starting wt - 234pnds
current wt - 222pnds
goal wt - 150pnds

Way to go, Laura!!! Doesn't it feel great to see the scale go down? I know that's what keeps me motivated! Good luck to you, you're doing a wonderful job so far.

The "physical" cravings should die out before long. The "mental" cravings might take awhile. I find that I do better when I don't try to find a substitute and just do without. If I eat anything that looks, tastes, smells, feels, or sounds (LOL!) like bread (no matter if it's low carb), I'm more inclined to begin craving bread again. Others find that discovering a low carb substitute actually helps them so find what method works best for you. Good luck!
