3 pounds in 1 Day?

[Dancerella]

Is this too good to be true?

I weighed myself before I started Atkins in the morning after visiting the bathroom....and again the next day at the same time (today) and lo and behold... 3 pounds down!!

I drank my water (man, i now live on the toilet!!), ate the right foods, did an hour at the gym....

Woke up with a SPLITTING headache though...

Dont get me wrong...I'm far from complaining!!

With ANY weight loss program, not just Atkins, we'll experience an initial water release.

I've had days where I've been up (or down) as much as 6 lbs of water weight (that is extreme) HOWEVER, water, fat, whatever...it's GONE off of you. AND that water had to take up some kind of SPACE on your body that will now be smaller.

Congratulations on that loss, and for taking control of your health!

Hey there, I lost like crazy water weight in the beginning, and again when I started drinking my required amounts of water. I agree with Valid, any weight down is good. Water retention is not all you lost tho'. Fat does come off too, carbs contain a lot of salt, especially the prepackaged food processed kind, so the water loss is a good thing. High blood pressure can stem from too much water retention. So every time you need to go, be happy your body is equalizing to it's normal state. And goodness........... doesn't it feel good to not be bloated?

Congrats on 3 lbs down!
