My goal is 9 lbs for the month of February. I am staying with a net of 20 carbs. I lost 9.5 lbs on Induction and haven't lost anything since Friday :/, and I added workouts to my routine....hopefully after a day or two the scale moves in the downward direction.

I lost 9 lbs in the first two weeks. I didn't get to the gym as much as I wanted too...maybe about 2x a week. I also ate Atkins bars and shakes, if that interests you. Some people recommend against them, but they help me stay on track so if I can lose an average of 4.5 lbs a week and still have the Atkins 'treats,' I'm…

I could use Atkins support friends as well. Please add me!

I can't help it, I know it is a personal battle but I keep envisioning the scene in the Nutty Professor when his formula starts to wear off and he starts literally busting at the seems. I picture that as me if I have a carb! HAHA

Try salsa chicken. Throw chicken and a jar of salsa in a crock pot. It will shred and you can eat it over rice or in tacos. Throw in beans and corn to add more textures. With the chicken shredded it has more of a tuna texture. Good luck!

Plain rice cakes with peanut butter or hummus, fiber one brownies for something sweet, and string cheese.

Fit test done and day 2 completed!

For those of you who have already started or completed the program, what kind of results did you get?

Sounds great! Add me and we'll help each other through! How have your results been so far?

I use greek yogurt instead of sour cream...you'd never know the difference.

I don't eat back exercise calories. I eat what it recommends before exercise.

Well my goal was 2 lbs a week and when I submit my entries at the end of the night, it says I should lose 16 lbs in 5 weeks, coming out to 3.2 lbs a week. High, and a little unrealistic I think, but I'd still like to know how it is so off... I lost 1.2 lbs in a week. My journal should be open, feel free to take a peek and…

My friends always want to go out to eat or order in food for lunch. If I say I can't have anything (or don't want anything) they will say, "Oh you can get a salad!!!" What they don't understand is that the salad from Chilies or Applebees can have just as many calories as a meal, depending on what it comes with.

I'd like to work out in the morning but I'd have to be up at 4 and sometimes if I don't get out of work until 7...I just don't trust myself to stick to that. But I'll look into the melatonin. Thanks :)

Yes! I am in the same position...except my wedding is in October (YIKES!!!) so I'm really on a time crunch and doing this the healthy way and still getting good results will be a challenge. Add me if you'd like to chat!

Welcome and good luck on your journey! If you need some encouragement go ahead and add me. :)

Thanks! I'll check it out.

I just started Bob Harper's "Total Body Transformation" workout dvd and it is a killer! It is designed to get people out of a rut, and so far it is doing a great job for me. Good luck to you!

Thanks! I picked up The 6 week boot camp and I'm going on week 2 now without any drastic changes. I feel stronger but don't see much results...hopefully that will come as the levels get harder.
