Do ya'll think I am loosing?

[cindilou]

Hi everyone,

I restarted with induction on July 4th I wanted to see what ya'll thought. I feel great lots of energy and I am not hungry. I even have the funky monkey breath so hubby says. (by the way what is good for that?) well I got on the scale and it hasn't changed at all and I was wonderin if it is working at all. I have done everything cheat free except I need to definitely raise my water intake. I will buy lots of bottles of water today so that i can just carry them around. I do feel thinner I think. I need to get a tape measure to see if I am losing inches huh. Well when did ya'll see some weight coming off ( scale wise) thanks so much for this support. I will be skinny one day I know it just have to stick to my guns. lol.

It sounds like you are doing everything right, feel good, have all the symptoms and lots of energy, I'd recommend you take the measurements or try on some clothing and see if it is looser. Take your measurements and keep them in a journal or somewhere you can refer back to monthly. There were lots of times that I had no pound loss, but when I measured...it kept me motivated to see my inches melting away!

Congratulations!!!

Dr Atkins says not to weigh for the first 14 days so take his advise while doing his plan and hide the sclaes.

Make friends with your tapemeasure so it can validate your hard work morphing your body doing your Atkins when the metal moster won't.

Happy low carbing

You're doing great. And you're right about that water.

If my water intake slides, the scale won't budge and it might actually go up several pounds. Then I drink the water and within a day or two, I not only return to the weight I was at before I stopped drinking the water, but I often lose another pound. It's almost as if my body needed the water in order to "let go" of that pound it was holding on to.

Keep Going!

Its only been 4 days, hun!!! All the other signs are there, so give it time! I'm with 2big and Dream...put the scale away for at least two weeks. I'm an addicted scale hopper, and it is VERY damaging! Sometimes I have been doing everything perfect, and screw up because the scale went up a hair, and the depression hit along with the "whats the use?"s and I gave in to a carb attack, when in reality the pound might have left the very next day taking a friend with him! Resist the urge to weigh as long as you can!
