Hello Everyone,

I have been reading this forum since my first day of induction and it has been a great source of support for me. I am currently on day 16 and have decided to stay on Induction. I started at 220 and have lost 10 lbs. Overall I have been happy with my progress but have had a few bumps in the road. My biggest concern is that I got my TOM two weeks early. Initially I was very concerend, however after reading a few posts, I learned that this is fairly common. Aside from that, I have been at a stand still with my 10 lbs. I do weigh in everyday and I am just waiting to break that 210 lb mark! I have not had a single cheat and I feel like I have just eased into the atkins way of life. Neatly waiting for more weight to drop off!

Hi HCrews,

You are soooo right... it comes off much slower... but it is so much more rewarding to lose than to gain! What has your progress been in 9 days? My scale is at a stand still... but I am stroger than the scale and I will win the battle! Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the support on my thread [ / icon_smile. gif]. I have to say I am nervous about my TOM too. It isn ' t that close but I will have to cope through them to get the weight off.

Usually I am a snickers and choc milk freak during TOM so I feel ya on the cravings. I have been reading the recipe section and there are a few there I plan to try when mine rolls around.

Good luck to you and congrats on the 10 pounds [ / icon_biggrin. gif]

Me and chocolate were very good friends... guess that ' s part of the reason I am where I am!!! I have not had a problem avoiding it however, I think it is because I drink the occasional Atkins Milk Chocolat Shake. They are yummy and guilt free and they really help me to feel full. Give them a shot if you cannot go with out the " C " word!
