I lost 5 lbs during induction even with a few "cheat" days!!! I'm still in induction and plan on moving to the next phase once I reach 137lbs. I'm currently 145 lbs and my goal is 130lbs.

If you look at the Atkins diet, it allows whole grain carbs & fruits!!! Hellloooo? Some people are ridiculous. There's so many misunderstandings about the diet with people thinking induction phase is the whole program.

It unfortunate we're so…

Oh I know how that goes! I have a pear shape myself & have the same exact problem. I usually try to find really stretchy denim or I hem the waist myself to fit me.
