Hubby challenged my daughter today to follow my plan for 3 months and he will get her the fancy hooded cape she wants.

So, Monday we are starting induction together. I need to get back to basics, been carb creeping for awhile. Gonna feel good to have someone to do it with,and it will help me stick to it too.

Going to reread the induction parts of Atkins, and grocery shopping tomorrow for what we need.

Mary Kay! Good for you and DD! I just re-read the Rules of Induction and started today. I figured it might be easier to get started at home instead of at work.

I just started a journal today, mainly for accountability purposes. I, too had let carb creep sneak up on me. A little here, a little there....sure adds up.

There is a beautiful cardigan in the Spiegel catalog I want, but I'm sure they'll be gone by the time I meet any weight goals! I may order it anyway, and store it until later.

Keep us posted!

Wow, this must be the time of year for the daughters, my daughter started induction on monday and have lost 12 lbs in 6 days so far, im so proud of her. once she's done with induction im gonna surprise her by taking her out for a night on the town. Probably to dinner and i was thinking to a comedy club or poetry cafe, she really likes poetry.

MK: Congratulations on your DD joining you on this WOL! That's just great. It is fun to have someone to do it with.

By the way, I really like your picture! You are a beauty! I love the haircut.

Peace, Peg

I am getting back to the basics myself this week and next. . .too many treats and a few doses of sugar have left me feeling sluggish and a bit bloated and while Iw as 165 midweek, I was NOT this morning--Saturday was 165.5 and today almost 170 so time to trim back and clean out the system again! No sugar or flour for this kid til Halloween! Good luck on Induction and good luck to your DD.

MaryKay · #7 10-11-2004, 09:17 PM

well, I'm doing great so far today - hard to tell with DD. she slept most of the day, as usual. not on any schedule at all. Will work on her to at least read the main part of the program - but not holding my breath.

me, I did fine.
b - 2 eggs scrambled,4 sl bacon
l - 1 cheeseburger, 1 salad with low-carb french
s - 2 hb eggs
d - 1-1/2 cheeseburger, 1 c cucumber with ranch
drank 100oz water
now I just have to make it through the rest of the evening!!!
maybe sleeping IS the answer.

That is wonderful, Mary Kay! You can't beat having a buddy to hold you accountable.

I wish you both great success.
Keep us posted on how she's doin' ok?

MaryKay · #9 10-11-2004, 09:20 PM

well, I'm going to be patient with her. This is the daughter who moved out in April to Ky to live with a 38 yo man (she was 19). I'm just glad to have her home and planning on going back to college.
she is 20 and 195 lbs. she needs to do this, but it has to be her choice, and her initiative to do this. I'm not gonig to ride her, just make the right choices available to her, and hope she takes advantage of it.

huskersfan869 · #10 10-11-2004, 10:08 PM

Good for you! Keep the choices available and you will make good ones too!

RobinBeBe · #11 10-12-2004, 01:38 AM

Well, I am not doing a mother/daughter type thing, but I am starting induction tommorrow. I have never done induction before, as the last time I low carbed I did protein power with no induction. I hope I do ok!!

Today was good for me -
b - 2 eggs, 4 bacon, 1 oz cheese
s - had a atkins shake, but also built a bookcase and organized my office - lots of manual work.
l - tuna salad/lettuce, cucumbers/ranch
d - OCharleys sirloin w broccoli

DD - kid didn't eat anything all day. This is going to be hard.
but I took her to O'Charleys for dinner and she had the low carb filet/broccoli
I can't make her eat - she doesn't get out of bed until mid afternoon. frustrating.
but we went to the grocery store tonight and stocked up on a bunch of easy stuff to do. small steaks, pre-cooked burgers, veggies.
Just gotta get her to understand she has to eat , even if it just a slice of ham and cheese

so, I'm doing well, kid is trying.

huskersfan869 · #13 10-13-2004, 12:32 AM

It is a start. . .even if it isn't at the level you are and want her to be, she is making progress starting!

Day 2 of Back to the Basics went well for me

Maxibee · #14 10-13-2004, 02:07 AM

Me, three! I'm heading into Induction Day #5 and all's well. Do you all count each pack of Splenda as 1 carb?

Goddess · #15 10-13-2004, 03:20 AM

sounds like she has a bit of the old mentality...you know. losing by not eating. except who the heck can maintain that? i know that's how i used to try losing weight. which is why i gave up before i did any real damage to the tonnage! she'll learn, especially with such an excellent support system at home!
