I actually thought about starting this thread myself!! Today was a good day, slept through breakfast haha (Which means I finally SLEPT!!!)

It was a beef kind of day, two bunless chz burgers for lunch and low carb enchiladas for dinner.

So there's day one!!!

We will totally rock this!

Count me in. I am in the middle of induction and doing well (day 10 today) but my will is waning and I need some accountability to get me past Valentine's Day!

Hey ladies, I'm excited to see you all here!!!

I am saying that for my 5 days, NO ALCOHOL!!! Trust me Pammie, I'll spend next four nights in the bar and its going to be haaaaard!! Especially thursday night I have a feeling, not actually working but we have a bartender meeting and I have a feeling that all of us who aren't working will want to go plop down at the bar and have some drinks. You think Ultra would be ok? Its only like 2.5 carbs a beer... I need a vote on this one: can I have Ultra if we stay after the meeting for drinks on Thursday?

I'm not really having any bad food cravings at all lately, got that all out of my system on Monday I guess. The only thing I actually am worried about is the alcohol! haha

Hi all - my goal is to get through to the induction finish line (Sun) with no cheats and that means surviving a special restaurant meal that my husband booked for us for Valentine's day. No wine??? (whine).

I vote one Ultra Brittastic if it doesn't drive you mad in craving more.

Well - I almost made it through. I had a glass (or 2) of wine before the 5 day period was up but ate LC. Need to be really strick to lose anything so any cheats kill me. Ugh. Want to start again?

I made it to day 10 of induction before I LEAPED off the wagon and had pizza, but I need to climb back on... probably not back to induction until I finally start this TOM that's been lingering around the corner for like a week.
