Hi-
It has been 7 years since I have done induction. It worked great the first
time, ended up losing 50 pounds in 4 months or so. I have pretty much been
labeled the low-carb girl by all my friends by the way I still eat.
I was down to about 150 lbs for several years, I am 5'10" so fairly thin and
content at that. However, I have a medical problem, and started a new
treatment that made me stay in bed and basically stay sick for 3 days a
week. For about 6 months. Therefore, I didn't exercise like I used to and
easy meals seemed to do the trick. I am not an eat out girl, or a fast food
burger and fry person. But I think that the immobility and sickness helped
unmotivated me. I picked up some bad habits that I shouldn't have.
At any rate, I have gained a lot of weight. I am not at 175lb OMG! More than
I have been in a long time. Every morning consists of me trying on every
piece of clothing I have to try and cover my fat ass.
I woke up on Monday morning and decided to do induction again. It has been
awhile, so I cant hardly remember what to do. I lend my Atkins book to
someone who never returned it. So I am trying to just to eat whole foods,
meat, cheese and veggies (either broccoli or salad) I have done pretty good
this week. I haven't lost any weight though and ended up being sick on
Tuesday night. I woke up in the middle of the night with the stomach flu,
throwing up and out all night long. Yesterday was a struggle, cause when you
are sick it is hard to be motivated.
I know I can do this. It is a lot of weight to loose. I have to do it
though. I am not happy being overweight.

If any of you have any favorite induction foods, please share.

Thanks for reading if you did. I guess I had a lot to say, this is about
the only place I can say it though. I know some of you understand.

Sounds like you've been through the wringer lately! I haven't slipped
off my low-carb WOE (yet), but I certainly understand how illness
and/or disability can throw you off track (it was a major factor in my
last big weight gain after I hurt my back, which coincided with several
OTHER things going wrong -- it really took the wind out of my sails and
I kind of gave up on a LOT of things). It can be very dispiriting. I
didn't get control back until I was READY to do so.

In the meantime, check out atkins.com to refresh your memory about
Induction. I wouldn't call them my "favorites", but keeping hard-
boiled eggs in the fridge at all times really saved my ass during
Induction, because every time I opened the fridge (having already rid
the entire house of high-carb items), there they were, ready to eat if
I just HAD to have something. Another thing that saved me was making a
cream cheese, Splenda, vanillam, cream and cocoa powder concoction that
I could take just a swipe of here and there to help with my sweet
cravings. Others might disagree with that, but it was enough for me
and it did the trick. I also bought a lot of smoked salmon salad at
Trader Joes.

If you are READY, it will happen!
