Wow! Absolutely amazed, stunned, can't believe it! Sooo happy!

Amber_Baby · 10-15-2009, 04:27 PM

It was my first weigh in today, one week since I started Induction. I actually had to double check 3 times to make sure I was seeing it right. I know some of it is water weight but I'm not dehydrated cos I have been drinkin 2 to 3 litres every day. Anyway, the scales tonight read 206 which means I have lost 14 pounds in my first week. I am absolutely over the moon, yayyy!

Congratulations! Is this your first time doing LC?

Amber_Baby · 10-15-2009, 05:14 PM

Thank you all, I am so excited and so happy! Dizzy, no it's not, I've done it once before and lost about 42 pounds in 3 months.

Shimmer · 10-15-2009, 05:29 PM

WOW, that's awesome!! Congrats!!

Stash'sWife · 10-15-2009, 07:06 PM

That is wonderful!

enjoy your woosh...and remember, you can expect a more modest weight loss from here on out, and that is a GOOD thing! You want to lose weight safely and for GOOD, okay?

Take care and stay on plan!

Houston Heather · 10-15-2009, 07:14 PM

That is awesome.

Please don't make my mistake. One bite eating off plan will hurt. I gained back 80 pounds as a result of small cheats becoming bigger cheats. Now I'm doing it by the book!

Arubabound10 · 10-15-2009, 07:21 PM

What did you eat?

ozdancer · 10-15-2009, 09:07 PM

OGM

CurlsNCuffs · 10-16-2009, 06:18 AM

That is AWESOME! Congrats to you - what a motivator! Keep going.....KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE GOAL!

Amber_Baby · 10-16-2009, 08:03 AM

Thank you all for the kind words and congratulations.

Believe me I know it's only the start, that things will slow down and that I need to stick with it. But I'm really feeling it this time round, like I barely even consider cheating, it just feels like what I'm doing is right and I don't question it.

I post my daily menus in the 'It's ....day, What Are You Eating Today?' threads every day for those that asked what I had been eating. And no I didn't cut out artificial sweeteners completely, I had a couple of servings of SF jelly and one decaf coffee with splenda during the week. I used to be a big Diet Coke drinker but since starting Induction, I haven't touched it and I've been drinking 2 to 3 litres of water a day.

I am a waitress so I have quite an active lifestyle and I also go to the gym 2 to 3 times a week. Thanks for all the support, help, info and kind words, LCF has been a brilliant help to me.
