am I being too anxious?

I'd take the 4" loss out of the waist with no movement on the scale ANY DAY! Loss of inches means you look THINNER! Nobody can see how much you weigh, they only see how much of you there is....and there is definitely 4" less of you in the waist, and that's awesome! Congratulations!

Re: am I being too anxious?

I was so hungry the first few days that I started... literally, I was having 2 slices of turkey, 2 pieces of cheese, plenty of sugar-free Jell-O, eggs, extra meat, etc. all in one day. By about day 4 , I noticed I was just not as hungry as I had been. I think it was due to being in ketosis.

The whole point of Atkins is to NOT be hungry. Eat plenty of protein & fat and the weight will come off, especially since you are exercising (which your body may not be used to).

Congratulations on the 5 pounds and 4 inches gone!
