First, I want to say you guys are awsome! What a wealth of information and support! If I had something like this the first time I went on Atkins, I probably would have stuck with it. I was still being drawn in by the negative garbage about LC living.
I lost 15 lbs. then, but gained it back (slowly) when I started eating starches again. I do pretty good with green veggies, but, boy, add that bread and I'm done for!
This time, I had lost 7 lbs. by day 12 into Induction when we went out to a street fair and I had something sweet. I gained 2 lbs. immediately and it has taken 5 days to lose it again. Sheesh, it was like 2 bites! But that's ok, I will do that from time to time and I'm not going to panic, just get back on the horse, if you know what I mean.
I have been using Fitday for 2 days now, thanks to it being mentioned here. I'm eating 70% fat, 27-28% protein, 2-3% carbs, and that was without trying to do that, it just happened that way. I also found out I wasn't eating enough, so I stepped that up to 10x my weight. I'm drinking more, too.
Thank you so much for all your knowledgeable input! It will take me months to get "caught up", if that's possible! :daze: I hope to get to know you all better, and I hope one day to offer encouragment to others.

P.S. I have the dubious honor of having been born in the same city as Tony the Tiger--you won't hold it against me will you? ;)
