I lost three pounds from yesterday (my first day of induction) to today. Essentially 30 hours.

Can you say water weight coming right off?????

OK - I'll take it anyway

Me too! Congrats on losing Lynn! Denise

Wow, you are almost there Denise - congrats

YAY to us.

GOOD job you got an atta girl ,it is a great motivator sooooo happy for you.

Wtg!!!

Well - now it's 5 pounds - in 2 1/2 days woo hooo more

no weight loss today.... humph.

can someone please give me some encouragement, i have been on introduction phase for 15 days and i have been so strict only meat eggs and cheese. i havent weighed but i dont think i have lost only a pound or two. I die this diet 5 yrs ago and lost around 40 pds. so whats the problem. I know im not eating anything im not suppose to. please someone answer me.

I wish that I could give you some advice but I really don't know what to say. Maybe its the cheese. How much are you eating? If you are eating only 2-3 times a day, maybe you need to eat 5-6 times a day. ????

Good luck and I'm so sorry!!

I think I stalled (already). I may have actually gained a pound or two (although this is based on an evening weight).

I think I stall on bacon - of which I ate tons today and two days ago. I'm also "eating" alot of splenda. And the last two days I've used 1/2 and 1/2 (about two tablespoon/day), but watching my carb intake (I think no more than 20 grams - not counting, but only 2 cups spinach, 1/2 cup cabbage, 1 celery stalk, and the carbs in bacon (minimal - says 0 - but cured in sugar - no fillers though), cream, 1/2 and 1/2, and the minimal ones in eggs.

I need to be more strict - but I'm just so hungry. I'll cut out the bacon and see if that helps.

Is it ok to eat 5-6 eggs in a day?????? I think my veggie intake is ok though.\

Oh, and I drink lots of Crystal Light....

Your body may be trying to adjust to what you have lost so far. BTW - Congrats.

I try to eat a lot of different things cause I seem to get bored with so many limitations. When I first did Aitkens that is why I think I failed - I was eating the same thing over and over again and the palette wanted variety. Maybe eat less bacon and replace with chicken or some other meat that you like that has less sodium. Also, I try to drink at least two waters for every non-water drink that I have.

Just stick with it. That is the main point.

You really don't know until you weigh or take measurements. How do your
clothes fit after 15 days on induction? Also, check out the amount of water
you are drinking. Are you getting enough?

Hang in there! Many of us get frustrated too. But, we have to keep chugging
at it. No pun intended.

i still haved weighed but i can tell i have lost since i last posted. im so excited about that. im pretty tired of eggs. it seems like its much slower this go around, than from before, but i am older so im gonna keep on going.

lyaness, do you count your slenda and crystal light into total carbs for the day? I think it is 1 carb each.

I use liquid splenda which has no carbs and I looked up crystal light on other low carb forums - it says no carbs. Here, it says .2 grams per 8 oz. I think both are negligible if anything... but then again, drinking 2 quartes of crystal light can make a dent.

I need to drink water instead of crystal light - sometimes I do. I don't drink enough water in general anyway. I'll try harder - promise.
