My first entry and my first day and beginning of low carb !! I have chosen to follow Atkins and the 2 week induction, I have done it in the past with some success!!! My goal is to lose 20-25 lbs and get in better shape with exercise as well. I recently quit smoking (2 weeks ago today) and I am getting motivated to be as healthy as I can be!!!

Can someone tell me how to add my stats and pictures...quotes etc??

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Day 2 of induction 1-23-07

So far so good...feelin great, doin fine, mo major cravings or side effects...experiencing the *blues* a bit, but relating that more to the quitting of the cigs I am going to make my weigh- in day on Fridays....will be anxious to see , as I allready feel a water weight loss. I am making it a habit to drink at least half my body weight in oz of water, from past experience that always worked well for me I hope to get around today to visit other jourmals and posts!

Have a wonderful day everyone

Day 3 of induction 1/24/07

All is guuuuuud. Drinking LOTS of water, but still feel "dry" allot. Me and a friend walked yesterday (about a mile for starters) and plan on today as well. It felt great! My appetite is getting much better, not starving all the time..and that is good as I seem to battle hunger way too much and am obsessed with food at times I am experiencing charlie horses in the calves of my legs, while sleeping. Seems this started with the added water consumption. I since added a daily multivitaim and multimineral, hope that does the trick.

Hope you are all having a wunnerful day!

Day 5 of Induction 1/26/07


Hmmmmm no weight loss...hoping its due to TOM, if not this will call for further investigaion to see what I might be doing wrong. I bought some Ketone strips this morning after work and tested myself and it showed *trace* ....from what I recall reading, as long as your in the color chart your burning fat???

Day 6 of induction 1/27/07

TOM arrived today....so anxious to see if I see a weight loss after that is done with. I am thinking I will...cutting back on the pork rinds, I know the sodium isn't helping any. I had dinner out with a friend last night and maanged well, it was a buffet...so had salad with all legal and good stuff added some steak and shrimp. So no real noticible weight loss, maybe a lb or 2...but scale is flakey and not that accurate (bought new one to use from now on) feeling guuuud ~feelin fine and actually quite happy even though I am not losing yet, I am not gaining weight...I at least got that leveled off (was packin on lbs from recent quitting of cigs)

Day 8 of induction 1/29/07.........skipped posting yesterday

Looks like I have lost 2 lbs for my first week..Not too shabby considering its my TOM. I have my appetite under control, that is the main thing!!! After I quite the cigs I was posessed with the thought of food and was fighting HUNGER big time....and it was not fun, all the while gaiing weight

havent been that good with my water the past 2 days and I know I need to cut back on the caffeine and sweeteners, but can't give up too many vices all at once right?
