thanks Marlaine for starting this. Though I like success stories, I find Im even more encouraged finding Im not alone.

Ive done 2 inductions and lost well on each . Then siezed up. Last induction Aug 2001 - 12 lb. Then a grand total of 8 lb in the last year.

In retrospect I see that I panic and lower my cals after induction. Average induction cals about 1,200, and Ive spent quite a lot of time there since!

Ive realised that I get washed out and tired at this level . Ive also had problems with " eat till satisfied" I am so accustomed to being hungry that anything else is strange.... my whole life having been one big diet.

I get distressed when people talk of calorie deficit. If only it were that simple. I know people think if I reduced calories - but months on 1,200... and nothing? I dont think so.

Im working on trying to heal my Diet Mentality.

Meanwhile, Im waiting for the brilliant tweak that will make everything fall into place for me. Its wonderful at the moment because I have energy. But I do want the scales to move !!
