I came here and posted in the newbie area right after the first of the year when I started Atkins. I made it 4 days on the induction and fell off because of the headaches. Although I fell off I was still eating a significantly reduced carb intake over what my old diet was though and still drinking my water.
10 days ago after I went out to swap some tires from one vehicle to the next and was in so much muscle pain from being in such poor condition I was debilitated for 2 whole days, I was shocked into the realization that my weight and lack of activity was slowly killing me.
Well 7 days ago I started Atkins Induction again with a new resolve and have now come 7 whole days on clean induction.
A am thrilled to say I have lost so far a total of 13 pounds! I made it through the "flu" this time with only some minor headaches. It wasn't near as bad this time, I am assuming because in that in between period I was already slowely weaning myself from the sugar addiction.
3 days ago, I woke up bursting with energy and it hasn't stopped. My wife hates it! LOL She's says I am driving her crazy bouncing off the walls.
I haven't tried any of my tighter clothes yet or remeasured, I am saving that for Day 14.
This way of eating WORKS!!! I can't wait what my friend who is a hard core weight watchers follower says in a couple of months when I am doing far better on the weight loss than he has in 3 years of being on WW. He was against me doing Atkins.
Results thus far:
Starting weight: 267
Current weight: 254
And this was with relatively NO exercise aside from the increased trips to the bathroom to pee!
I do plan on adding some exercise in very soon, I have just been SOOO busy with work related stuff, I just haven't had the time the last few days. I am thinking about biking.
I started a livejournal for my weightloss journey. If any of you have one over there, feel free to add me as a friend.
