2 Weeks Today

[Monroe]

I'm a second timer to Atkins, did it about 3 years ago for 3 weeks and lost 26 pounds. Then my girlfriend brought home some cheesecake from her moms house from Thanks Giving. I couldn't resist the temptation, and ate almost a full cheese cake in a matter of minutes and said, well I screwed up, i'm just going off it.

This time around I know better than to do something stupid like that, i've been very good at resisting stuff this time, it doesn't bother at all. This time around I have even been exercising. Got a membership at a gym about a week ago and havn't missed a day yet!


2 weeks today, Started in at 347 pounds, and weighed in this morning at 324. Thats 23 pounds in 14 days! I know its mostly water weight but I feel 54789543% better than I did when I started it. I couldnt even do a full shopping trip cause it just wore me out, it was like going to work for 8 hours and busting butt the whole time, now it doesn't bother much. I still have a long way to go, and I cant wait! I have been taking some pics of progress and when I get down to a lot more I will be sure to post them. Good luck everyone and thanks!

Monroe! Dude that is fantastic! 23 pounds in 2 weeks, you should be commended and proud of yourself. Weigh to go man! Awesome.

Here's a suggestion...next time you got to the store...go to like the dogfood section....pick up a 25 pound of dog food...look at it, study it and say....

'I lost this much weight!" I'm telling you it is such an amazing feeling and it's such a reward to see something like that. Just think in another month, you'll be able to pick up two of those 25 pound bags and say....I am a winner!!!!

You go man, I love to read posts like this. Excellent job. Keep up the good work.

That is actually a great idea! I'm going to Wal-Mart today anyways, so I will be sure to hit up the pet isle LOL! I'm sure you don't realize how much it is exactly until you do something like that. Every little bit of motivation helps! Thanks for the suggestion!

That's amazing! I look to you and others here for inspiration. Today is my first day of induction and I look forward to feeling the same way as you and countless others have after the initial two weeks.

Re: 2 Weeks Today

I'm very bad at math and was wondering, I have seen some people post their % of body weight gone, how do I do this? I'm very embarrased I have to ask how

original body weight - current body weight = weight lost

weight lost / OBW = fraction lost

fraction * 100 = % of OBW lost.

Your is 6.6%

That's pretty incredible for two weeks!

Congratulations

Re: 2 Weeks Today

Wowee, Zowee!!! Way to start off with a bang! Congratulations to you!

I know its mostly water weight

No matter! That's 23 pounds less of anything you're carrying around! Besides, how can it be mostly water weight if we're drinking at least 64 oz of water at day!
