Hello all,
I've been lurking around the boards for a week, and finally signed up because I need to ask you some questions. You're all so friendly and supportive, I should have done this a while ago!
I started Induction last Tuesday, so it's been about 10 days. I was doing really well and dropping some pounds (I'm 5'5", started at 150 and dropped to almost 142 in the first week!) and exercising hard (about an hour a day). I would like to lose 20 pounds, to get to about 130.
Anyways, since Tues I've started to feel kinda bloated and heavy again. Clothes fit a little tighter. I started to get the cravings again last night (?) so I had a little extra cream cheese and celery, no big deal. Well this morning I woke up feel super big, so I decided to weigh to dispel my fears and lo and behold - I'm back up to 145! I was so discouraged that I impulsively went out and bought some Atkins bars and ate them.
So now I don't know what to do. Is this normal? It WOULD be that TOM, except I'm on BC where I only have TOM 4 times a year. Is that it? Is my body resistent to this woe? I don't know what to do! I feel so discouraged!
Thank you for reading this!
