Ok...first thing you need to do is read this:

and then put your scales away. Seriously.

Take them out on day 14, weigh yourself, then put them away again.

You are 14 pounds from your goal weight, which means at the end of your induction, you will start on OWL, as recommended by Dr. Atkins, and you'll work your way up so when you are at goal, you know exactly how and what to eat to maintain that weight.

The closer you are to goal generally the slower it will come off. This is normal.
So relax, enjoy your summer, enjoy experimenting with the rungs of OWL when you get there, and remember to only weigh yourself once a week!!

On my original induction I went at least 14 days without weighing and I can't even remember what I lost. But what was more importantly I was almost fitting into 2 sizes smaller jeans (so a size and a half I guess?). And it seemed to all happen at the end of induction. So don't get discouraged!

GOOD idea to steer clear of the scale after you jot down your starting - not because of the anticipation of stalling, but it is important to think of this as a lifestyle. Just go about your business. Forget about it.

Then two weeks later, weigh & measure again. If you have been following Atkins Induction to a T, you will FLIP OUT when you see the results of all of your progress! Hang in there, Checkers. :hug

Scales lie. Clothes do not.

YOU CAN DO IT.

Personally it took about a month or two to start SEEING results.
