I started Induction the day after Easter. I haven't lost a whole lot but I have lost a couple inches in my waist and hips so my pants are not so tight. I am really committed to losing weight- I have been always a "large girl" but I felt fat. Then came kids and 14 years of staying at home- too easy to eat there!!

My biggest issue so far has been giving up Diet Coke (I even started a new thread about it a couple days ago...)

My husband has never said anything about my weight but he is going along for the ride enthusiastically (even though he has a lot less to lose and will probably lose it faster!)

My DD is starting to look chunky so I am changing her diet too without her even knowing it so far! Just cutting out sweets and desserts in the house (especially at night!) will make a difference in her weight and mine!

Almost three weeks in for me. I am still trying to find things I like to eat from all the recipes I have accumulated. Oopsies- no. Mims- pumpkin, yes! I have to sub all next week so I gotta find things I can drag along to school.

I have successfully done this for one of my dds!!!! I am so excited, for the first time she has fit into normal size jeans for her age and they are even a little loose - that she did not fit in in September (hand-me-downs). I have been working on her weight for about 4 years ... same way -- such that she does not know!

and recently she came up to me (she is only 9), and said to me, "I don't want to eat the unhealthy food when I go to grandma's house. Can you send the healthy snacks, I am liking my shape now ..." Which is a big deal because I could tell she was embarassed about how her stomach looked in certain clothes before, etc and I just always tried not to mention it and be positive .....

Anyhow, just mentioning this to you because it can be done without them even suspecting you have had much of a hand in it ....

TaDa - I know my daughter acts like she doesn't care about being chunky but she is almost 15 and she is gonna start caring what the boys think....So good to know that my eating changes will help her, too. Not so many sweets for anyone because they are too tempting for me!

Thanks everyone, doing pretty good so far...
