Thread: back to induction

I've been on the LC lifestyle for over 5 years now, I started out at 269 and got as low as 228. While I manage to stay LC the best I can I've strayed a bit lately and have gone back up to 245. I usually fluctuate between 235-240 so it's definitely time for some induction! Check out this progress, even I'm amazed.

Monday. 6/23: 245.5, feeling bloated after a weekend of bad food and a lot of boozin!

Tues: Already down to 242.5, probably mostly water coming off so far.

Wed: Down to 239 after 2 full days of very strict induction. I'm feeling good but I'm surprised it's working this well so quickly.

Thurs: Down to 236.5, wow down 9 pounds already!

My goal is to do 30 days of strict induction, I'm not setting a weight goal I just want to make it for the 30 days and take it from there. I'm going to allow myself one minor cheat per week (trying to be good 100% of the time just doesn't work for me). I also work out 3-4 days per week at the gym where I do at least 30 minutes of cardio or weight training.

So anyway, I'm back on induction and feeling great about it!! I'll give more updates as I go.

I'm a salty snack kind of guy, chips, nuts, crackers, that sort of thing. I like sweets but I have no problem saying no to them.

I make a double batch of these and keep them in a glass cookie jar where they keep for weeks/months and are readily available when I feel the need for a crunch. My latest favorite is to use a combination of dark chili powder, chipolte chili powder, and habanero chili powder. This produces a cracker with a decided "kick" that I eat either straight or use dip things like egg or ham salad. I used to also put a little dab of peanut butter on them, but I found I could not control/ limit myself when I did that as I have come to recognize that I have an addiction to nuts.

Sounds good I might have to give those a try.

I usually eat wasa crackers when I need some crunch but they're pretty bland on their own.

Down another pound today to 235.5, this quick progress has me super motivated

Im a low carb gal....after 4 children/on steroids while pregnant, I went up to 289. I lost with atkins and pilates and went down to 105(underweight,I know). Then Docs gave me steroids and in 1 1/2 mos, i went to 170 and at the end...ended up at 223 in one year. I am off steroids, am back on induction and doing winsor pilates...have lost 3 inches on my waist in 1 1/2 weeks...i am so impatient and have trouble eating as often as i am supposed to because, although i know better, it makes me feel fat...ahhh...thank the gods for this forum...

Down to 233 today

That's 12.5 since Monday

Way 2 Go Matty!

Up 3 today but I'm pretty sure it's due to having too much salt yesterday, plus it's been pretty hot and humid where I am so I can tell I'm holding onto some water. I woke up thirsty as heck this morning. The plan is plenty of water today plus I'm hitting the gym for some cardio.

Grrr-Arrrgh...

I am not losing enough, it seems....I exercise everyday....I dont know what to do! It is making me feel like crap and I know I cannot do the Fat Fast yet because it is too early in the game for that. I just ordered keto strips, so maybe that will help me perk up a bit!
