    Am i losing weight to fast???

    So I started atkins for again since I gained my my wedding weight back, I was 132 at my wedding at when I started atkins on monday I weighed 148-149, and now I am 143.4 which is 4.7 lbs and it hasnt even been a week yet. This is saturday and it seems like every day that I get on the scale I lose about a 1 lb. It's great dont get me wrong, but I am kinda scared that I am losing weight to fast. It has been less then a week. What makes your body lose weight so fast, is it because it doesnt need it, because I was thin just about 8 months ago?? Thanks
    Sincerly,
    Christi

    NOPE you aren't losing too fast. If you start to feel sick then you may wnat to up your Salad Veggies but, I would say you are doing great.

    The fist few days you lose your Glycogen stores and Atkins is like a diaretic so it's alll good.

    I bet you feel FABBO Way to go!!

      your weight loss is about to slow way down. you have been burning off your glycogen stores and stored wth them in about a 3 to 1 ration is water.

      Dr Atkins says as long as you are not shedding more then a pound a day you are fine.

      Happy low carbing.

        Yes, as 2big said, it will slow down - so enjoy the experience while it lasts
        Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
        Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



        Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

          I'd just say, "Good for you"!!! As everyone said, I'm sure it will slow way down soon. And really, you don't have much to lose anyway. Are you planning on staying in induction, or moving on to OWL after your two weeks? Just curious... I'm thinking of starting on OWL myself. It's not that I'm bored with this at all, I'm loving it.

          Again, you're doing great. Don't worry.

          Original goal: Lose 30 lbs by Mar. 1st, 2006. I made it!!!

          Calling it GOAL at this point. I'm happy with where I am now and hope to stay there, or maybe even take it down a little more.

            I might stay on induction, it just depends how I feel I have been feeling very sick to my stomach and nauceus. I would like to move on to owl but probably will stay in induction for as long as I can
