Another success story here. I've been on induction for about 2.5 weeks and have lost just over a stone, from just under 13.5 to 12.5 and still going strong

.

It's great, I have no problems taking my top off in this weather where as before I was pretty self concious about my excessive gut.

Can't recommend it hightly enough.

I'm on my 6th week and am down 2.5st. Had a wooly head in the 1st week, a bit lethargic for the 1st 2 but now I'm used to it it's brilliant. Did a 6 mile walk in 2.5hrs last week and it was easy-peasy. Could've done the return but it was getting dark. 9 weeks ago if I'd tried that it would have taken me 4hrs and the return would have been a "no way". Weight loss seems to have stalled a little in the last week so I'm thinking it's time to add some more exercise. I really want to lose at least 1st more before re-introducing carbs and going for the tone up.
Foodwise I eat hardly any more meat than I used to, but I do eat more green veg and salad. I don't feel as hungry and usually have to tell myself I should eat rather than feel I must.

Well I was supposed to start today but its all gone pear sha\ped as I have a work/lads curry night Thursday so no point starting today

Will have to be next Monday now. Still got to plan a diet as so far my meals were going to be chicken/lettuce/cucumber for lunch and fish/lettuce/cucumber for dinner + 3 litres of water a day

Not quite sure for 2 weeks that will be too pleasant! So any more ideas on daily food intake much appreciated

Edited to say I can't stand eggs but I may chuck in the odd steak and mushrooms occasionally

Tiggs where you get the bread from and is it mega expensive? And I take it you can only have it after the induction period?

lol at Tiggs - excuse me for cracking a joke about diets!

guess i'm lucky for not being a lard bucket but the Atkins thing is just another in a long line of farcical diets which will be deemed bad for you at some point. A balanced diet with exercise cannot be bettered IMO.

or

eat less and ****e more

(WTF has this to do with Ladas?)
