Cheating... kinda
I know we're not supposed to get on the scale until the *end* of our first 14 days on Induction, but this morning I just had to know...
Last night I put on a pair of my jeans to go out, and when I did, they were saggy enough to require a belt! (The problem: I don't own any belts -- I haven't had to in ages because a) the pants I've been wearing, mending and wearing again for the past few years have been so snug on me that I didn't need one; and b) all my shirts come at least to my hips anyway. So in lieu of a belt, I used a drawstring from one of my hoodies. Elly May Clampett, eat your heart out.)
But I digress...
After discovering my jeans had suddenly 'grown' (just like the dryer 'shrinks' them all during our TOM, right) I was too excited this morning to wait another week. I stepped on the scale.
I've lost two more pounds, bringing my total loss in the past week to nine pounds! Woohoo!!
I can't tell you what a powerful feeling it is, to finally feel like I have some control over my body and see such immediate results from my good choices... but then, since you're traveling the Atkins road me and all, I probably don't have to. You probably already know.

Congrats!!
It is a great feeling when your clothes start getting baggy' and you see the #'s decrease on the scale.
