Weigh in tomorrow, hoping for at least 1 lb loss, I'm debating on moving into phase 2 OWL, I'm 13 lbs from goal and I've been doing induction for 4 wks so maybe it's time to move on and see how it goes.

Today was good day:
Total: 1545 calories, 33 net carbs, 82 g fat, 110 g protein
6,597 steps

I'll post how my results go in the morning!

Good news! Down 1 lb yahoo!!!

I think I'm going to move to phase 2 and see how this week goes!

5/2/2015 Induction Day 12
 

I did not get to post this yesterday, I went to bed early tired. I spent a wonderful sunny day riding my motorcycle in a charity ride to supply service dogs for wounded veterans. About 300 bikers and we rode Florida's "Tail of the Gecko" 76 miles and 84 turns. The ride ended at the Floral City VFW for food, drinks and live music. I got a bottle of water and two hamburger pattys without the buns with a slice of tomato and chopped raw onion for lunch

I have decided to go to OWL and see how the week goes... I stayed on Induction for over two weeks, and lost very little, so will try the next step. When I came back to Atkins I had 20 pounds to lose that I gained on maintenance and know it will be slow..

Wishing everyone a great loss week.

rpm3060: I too have decided to move to OWL, this will be my first week, I'm increasing my calories to 1500, net carbs 25. We will see how it goes.
I was on induction or 4 wks and lost 7 lbs. I only have 13 to go so I know it will slow down but that's okay.

Keep posting and let me know how you do moving to OWL.

Just joined today. Trying weight watchers which worked well in the past. Event to attend in 4 weeks, must stay motivated. Starting weight 154

Skelley..

This is my first day of OWL, carbs at 25 also.

I tried an Atkins Carmel Chocolate Nut Roll just for the heck of it.. It curbed my sweet craving as soon as I ate it.. Plus it was real good. I put the box in freezer, so it would be more difficult to have more than one, but one did the trick for sure

Induction Day 13
 

A good day today. I have been busy Grocery Shopping as I am cooking a BBQ Chicken dinner tomorrow for my Shriner's club. Serving Potato Salad and Coleslaw as sides. I will partake of the chicken but I will leave the sides alone. The advantage of being the cook is I know the ingredients of the chicken marinade. It is Atkins friendly.:D

Larry, I do a coleslaw dressing that is 4:1 mayo to white vinegar (s&p to taste). If you like it sweeter, you could use a bit of Stevia. It's Atkins friendly and oh, so yummy! :)

For my sweet chocolate craving I have the peanut cluster bars and the chocolate caramel square's yummy. Sunday was my first 25 nc and being on OWL, I'm loving it so far, just hope my scales do to this Saturday.

I am on Owl and enjoying it so far.. Carbs yesterday were 24. I get weighed in on Monday. I still have maintenance left on MRC and will get weighed in there till it runs out.. I need to be accountable for sure.

Hey guys! Looks like everyone is doing well. Been slammed at work, 3 events so getting home after 730 every night - will be happy to be on vacation next week at the beach!
I joined a weight mgmt center Monday because I want and need someone to weigh me each week and hold me accountable. My friends love this center and great results. They did a EKG, labs, weighed me and gave me a chart showing my fat ratio which is high. I told her I'm very buoyant and float very well in the river. Lol- sad but true!! So I'm keeping a journal and meeting w them next Monday for an eating plan. I told her I do better w low carbs, high protein for energy and she agreed that's the key to success.
I'm still doing Atkins but am chosing lower fat stuff (turkey bacon instead of real bacon) , smaller portions .... I'm not losing like I thought I would be.
Curious on what she'll recommend..
BTW - what is OWL? :)

Induction Day 15
 

Michaloula Thanks I will definately try this.

I am doing great on induction so I decided to continue past the 14 day induction period. I did heavy yard work (tree limb pick up) and mowing for three hours today until it started raining.

My chicken BBQ yesterday went great. The chicken was cooked to perfection and I had so many compliments on the flavor thanks to my secret marinade recipe. :D:D:D

OWL is the Ongoing Weight Loss phase of Atkins...

That weight mgmt center sounds interesting... I know for me personally I do better when I feel like have to be accountable once a week or how ever often it is... I too decided that for me lower fat stuff made more sense, so that's what I'm doing and it's working for me... I hope you let us know how it goes...

Tripswitch- I follow your posts (and others) and saw you were making lower fat choices and that's actually why I got the turkey bacon :). And I actually found out that I wasn't comfortable eating high fat foods- they are not appetizing to me. Now dark chocolate anything is another story! Lol! The doc also gave me reading material that has a lot of info about fat and how it causes heart diseases and other health problems. Info about food pushers and people that try to sabotage dieting efforts, etc.. They also gave me their cell no. To call anytime I may have a ? Or food crisis. the cost includes B-12 injections. I'll keep you guys posted! Have a great week!
