That is terrific, congratulations. This would be a dream come true for me. Did you lose quickly when you were first on the induction. What works? What doesn't work? Can you give some tips. Your general diet? WTG..you are an inspiration. 

Thank you so much, it is for me too! Since I was a teenager I have never weighed less then 160, it feels really good to make it this far! I lost 13 pounds in the first 2 weeks on induction. I was extremely strict with it though. I also didn't have any sort of added sugar in things, not even any no calorie sugar. Drank tons of water, and still do. I loose more when I drink more. Rule of thumb is half your weight in oz in water, I generally drink close to 100 oz a day. I think everything works as long as you stick to it, and keep pushing on. And when you fall off the wagon hop right back on it. Because I think we all fall off sometimes! I actually eat pretty normal and don't really diet but eat smaller portions when my husband is home for 2 weeks. He works away from home 2 weeks, and here for 2. I think this has actually really helped with the weight loss, as long as I don't go completely crazy, because my body doesn't ever have much time to go into a starvation mode. Then I eat low carb while he is gone. So I will gain a few pounds back when he is home (mostly water though) and then loose those plus a few pounds when he is gone. I do work in some low carb days while he is home too though, so its not all bad. I do more of a carb cycling when he is here. As a workout I started doing bodyrock.tv in January, and have done that for 5 days a week since then except for a few weeks in there were I started to slip up a bit. It's a great workout, and quick which is what I need right now with three kids at home!
