Hi Everyone,

Well, I finally decided to lose those last 9 pounds and the other 6 pounds I have put on over the holidays/vacation period. So I am back after 6 months. I started inductance on Monday and wasn't sure I would make it. I normally have a yogurt fruit/nut mixture in the morning and that would not be allowed on inductance. But I have made it so far without my yogurt. I am hoping to do better this time on inductance then I did last time. 2 full weeks of no cheating at all is my goal. I do not expect the same weight loss as last time because I have learn from all of you about the second time around being slower then the first.

At least I kept all my logs and spreadsheets from before so to start again was easy. I had lost your web site and then finally found it. I know in the weeks ahead I will be using it alot.

Hope to be talking to all of you again.

I remember you from when I was really active. I have started too. I gained all my weight back plus a couple of pounds. I wonder if it will be slower this time for me? If so that is going to be hectic cause I know where I can be and am impatient to get there. Being in the military I have to do PT three times a week now so hopefully that will help me to lose quicker than last time. Good hearing from you and I will be checking on your post.

Me, a skeptic? I trust you have proof.

Welcome back travellost! I've missed sharing travel tips with you! Glad to see you back on the board.

Don't forget that this is a way of life. Don't be in a hurry and before you know it, you'll be back in the swing. Sounds like you didn't do too bad for being gone. A pound a month, huh? Others have done a lot worse! Good for you! Maybe this time you can convince yourself that it will be for life and not just a "diet."

Peace,

Thanks for the notes. I remember all of you and so enjoyed chatting.

Rob you are such an inspiration to anyone. I use to go to the 100 form because it put my issue with low carb into perspectus. For me, I just started cheating to often and also I wanted to lose that last 10 lbs I didn't lose last time.

I remember all the chats about the second time around just being slower. So my expectation are a little lower than actuals from last year. I am hoping that inductance takes off at least 3 lbs and then I will be back to .5 or so lbs a week. It would be great to take off 1/2 of my weight loss in 3 weeks like last time but 2 miracles in one year is asking too much.

I am going on a Cruise, February 14th for 7 days and it would be nice to look a little better in my clothes.

Travel,
I found one of your posts on another thread. As I said there, it's good to have you back. Come on over the the Vet's forum and join Pegster and me tracking. Purplefrost is there, too.

You can do this--- you have learned a big lesson, too. You have to stay on plan!

Welcome back, Travellost!

Wow, it's so good to see some of our old members returning!!
Quite frankly, I think you have done really well if all you have gained is 6 pounds! Most of that is probably water weight gain... I'll bet you will lose it pretty fast.
Good luck with those last 10 pounds, too! I know you can do it.

Hey Travellost! How are you doing? I know I don't post alot so maybe I have missed some news from you. I think about you often. You are the one that got me back on track. Let us know how you are!

I think that if you stick to Induction strickly as indicated in Doc's book you will lose the (last.....so lucky) pounds in no time!
Good Luck and keep us updated on your progress!!
