Hi all! I found my book! I reread it again. I am doing everything right according to the book. I have been stuck for about 2 months and have lost no weight at all. Exercise, water, eating enough...everything I am supposed to do.

Does anyone have any advice? I have been doing Atkins for a long time. I started induction again, but haven't lost any more weight.

qosmo8, I will try the fish oil supplements since they worked for you. How much do you take per day? What times of the day?

Thanks,

I cannot find my book anywhere! Ok. Thanks, but I seem to remember that during induction I cannot have deli lunch meat.

Thanks

Hi all!

It has been a while since I have done induction. Can someone remind me what I can and cannot eat? I remember most of it, but I am afraid of eating something wrong.

No to deli type meats, milk products, anything with sugar or flour, starchy vegies, nuts, beans, pickles, bacon with nitrates (I never found any bacon that said it didn't have nitrates. Is there any? )....

YES to lean meat like chicken, turkey, eggs (all kinds right? deviled eggs?)

fish, .... Can I have sausage?

I remember lots of water. Is Splenda okay? How about iced tea with Splenda? No lemon or lime, right? Exercise...

What are the shakes some of you have been talking about? Where is Sugar Free Sheila's web site? I tried to read the posts, but there are just too many to read in one night. After induction is over, I will have to try some of the recipes on here.

Can you please help fill in the gaps of my memory of induction? I can't even remember the amount of carbs for induction? Help!

Thanks,

No you cannot cancel. I think there is a new law about smoking anyway. I don't think you can smoke in any hotel...not sure.

Ok I figured the priceline and hotwire thing out!

For the past four days, Hotwire has had a hotel for $163.00 per night for 3 people. I looked at the amenities listed, number of Trip Advisor posts, average Trip Advisor ratings, then compared them to the hotel website and Trip Advisor website. It looks like July 13th matches with the Intercontinental.

I wanted to save more money so I went with Priceline.

July 5th -- 3 star is Radisson Ambassador in Condado. $125.00 + taxes = $152.89 + resort fees of ?? %

July 13th -- Resort category--Caribe Hilton in Old San Juan. $130 + taxes = $ 158.95 + resort fee of 12%.

Not bad. I can't believe the 3 Star is almost the same as the Resort! Just because of the dates! 3 star on Saturday and Resort on Sunday!

I love this. Thanks to whomever started this sticky at this forum!

:D :D :D

Thanks Don.

I don't have to have the Sheraton, but it would make it much easier for us. I will bid 3 stars starting at $85.00 and see what happens.

I was just wondering how some posters said they could figure out which one was which. I

Thanks!

Ok. Still trying to understand the star thing.

When I look at the hotel's site, expedia, travelocity, hotwire, priceline, etc., they do not have the same number of stars. A hotel will be 2 star in one and 3 star in another.

Which one is right when bidding? If I am on priceline bidding part, do I go by Priceline's (non-bidding part) star system?

Thanks:confused:

I have been trying to figure the priceline thing out. Just as I think I understand, I realize I do not. I have been reading all the posts and links for the last 9 days. Now I have a headache!

I know I cannot get the exact hotel by name, but some people said there is a way to figure it out. I cannot figure it out. They all look alike!

I would like to have the Sheraton Old San Juan that is by the pier. How can I figure out which one that is? I understand it may not even be offered at all. Is that right? July 5th is the night I need. I know, last minute.:D

When we disembark, we will use ANY hotel/resort so I can take my chances then. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

From the names of the drinks, I have to ask....is this a college hang-out? I really do not want to hang around drunken college kids on my vacation. Any thoughts? I want a family type place to visit.
