2nd time around

I agree that this is the most supportive forum, I am a member of a couple other forums and they are so cliquey that you get discouraged, but on this one we all have the same goal and every supports the other.

I have cut out all the extra's this time too, I think that it really helps.

Wow a week has gone by fast. I'm down 9 lbs The ketosis stick is purple now...in the large, sleep is getting better and that great euphoric feeling. Gosh why did I ever leave Atkins to begin with ? Oh well I bet this is what alot of second timers ask themselves.

If anyone is craving sweets try drinking a cup of licorice tea. It is naturally sweet with no carbs. I love this stuff. Stash makes a nice, sweet, mild licorice tea. Yogi makes one called Egyptian Spice licorice tea. It is spicy and cinnamon-ish....very warm, good and satisfying. Anything to help ward off chocolate and ice cream....lol

Thanks !! Congrats on your pounds loss too ! Your induction seems to be going well.

It's funny but when I'm eating/drinking right and I can't wait until weigh in day time seems to go so slow! LOL! I can't wait until Friday and I get to actually step on the scales. I'm drinking water only and staying on plan strictly and I can't wait to see the results!

I know what you mean....lol I do the same thing especially if I can tell that the weight is coming off. I haven't seen anything work as fast and as well as Atkins. LOVES IT !!!

Thank you everyone so much for your support. I'm working hard to prove to myself that I CAN do this induction. I have some fruit and sweet potatoes in the cupboard for my family, also some yogurt. They were tempting me last night but thankfully I didn't breakdown. Everyone on this forum is such an inspiration to stay faithful to the plan.
