Well, Dr. Atkins says we only get one Golden Shot at it...
BUT YOU LOST 6 POUNDS! what other diet will you find where you lose that much in a month much less 2 weeks!?
Thats a fantastic loss for a second timer (or fifteenth timer in my case)...
I say (((((Great Job Cindy!))))))
And welcome back.

wanted to add that my first time, I did induction for 5 months straight, the losses rollercoastered, but they came!

You had an amazing loss for your first two weeks if you lost six pounds!
A person will generally lose 5 to 10% of their desired amount in the first two weeks, which would have been a max of 2.9 pounds for you..and you lost 6!!
Yippee!
No matter what happened 'before', celebrate the now!

Re: Not a great weight loss but thats ok

Thanks for all your responces and yall are right 6lbs on any other program in 2 weeks has never happened for me, also slow and steady does win the race and a great plus its healthier.I never seem to think about 5 to 10% weight loss and thinking of it that way seems to make it seem a whole lot more
I have to say that I feel better when I do this wol I just forget how rotten I feel when I indulge in carbs I think thats why I keep falling away from it.This time I intend to be sincere and do the right thing for me. Lately I have felt crappy but thats because I am fighting candida and this to shall pass..
Thanks Moochiecat for the link gonna go read it now..

You've lost 20% of the weight you want to lose. You should be happy not disappointed.

Re: Not a great weight loss but thats ok

that is fantastic remember weight loss is all relative to the total amount you need to lose. your 6 pounds would be 40 pounds on a 300+ pounder.
You moving to OWL so you can begin to ad the framing timbers to your house of Atkins WOE now that you got that strong foundation laid?
