Yay! 25lbs gone since I originally started in December (I did induction for 2 weeks, went off over the holidays [because I'm dumb] and then restarted induction on Jan 4th.
Kind of a nice feeling to hit that mark, though I'm setting 10% mini-goals for myself. 3 more lbs and I'll have lost 10% of my body weight! Then my next goal will be 26lbs for 10% of my weight (rounded up!).
I'll keep doing that till I reach goal, it's nice to have mini-goals to keep you going =)

my question is this....did you start eating the holiday cookies and candies and such? and if so, did you get sick or anything?
im not sure why, but every single time ive done atkins, i get VIOLENTLY ill when i have sugar. its not just feeling woosy or whatever, its like the flu, but worse, chills and fever, nausea, vomiting... almost like sugar shock or something. i seem to react pretty bad to it. anybody ever hear of this? so far i havent found 1 single person thats ever had that problem. its also the reason that i gave up the first few times

no im not diabetic, i just tell folks at restaurants i am so they dont mess my food up when i ask for no sugar/salt/spices etc and they dont get the passively threatened lawsuit. i think the hyperinsulinism doctor atkins describes in the book is exactly what i have. when i did a fasting glucose test, it was normal, around 90. when i came back after eating a normal meal, it was 290! i have the highside of diabetes, but not the low side. -- _____________________________ This be Tia's SIG!!!

I don't puke (though I wished I could, I would feel better), but I would feel as if I kicked back a 1/5 of whiskey the night before. I would wake up extremely hung over, suffering a migraine, weak, nauseous. Also, I wouldn't have gotten any sleep the night before because I could feel my heart banging in my ears, loud enough I would swear my husband could hear. A couple bouts of that made me really realize that forays into sugar just wasn't worth it. Keeps me in check. I don't think so much an "Atkins" thing, it's a sugar thing.

Bad news, you probably are diabetic. Two random glucose tests, (like after a carby meal) 200 or higher is the definition of diabetes. The high side is the only one that counts to get the dx. Have you had an A1c or an OGTT? Often, in women. there is already damage from high BGs by the time the fasting number starts to rise. If anything you eat makes you go to 290 you have probably already lost at least some of your first phase insulin response. But, since you are low carbing, the OGTT is probably the only test that will show it. http://www.geocities.com/lottadata4u/deterioration.htm http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/Newly%20Diagnosed.htm
