Week 1: It Works!!!

[cnbweb]

I started last week (2/28/07) with much skepticism. I read the book and read countless stories about how this diet works and have changed countless lives. Then I found Kents Youtube story, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmRaD683OXU, and that was all the inspiration that I needed.

I started last Saturday at 314.5 pounds. Yesterday I was at 303.5 and this morning I am at 301.5. I understand the logic of why this works, but I still can't believe it. Now I am a believer!

For those wondering what I am eating (question I had last week) here is a sample:

Omlettes (ham, cheese, bacon bits)
Salads with reg dressing (less carbs in reg)
Double Cheeseburgers from McDs (no buns)
Chili (if you have to go out to eat as I did on Friday night, Chili is safe. Even with beans, the carbs are still low)
Grilled Chicken

The one thing that I have done religiously is get my water in. I have a 20 oz bottle of water that I drink 3x a day. Even if it is 9pm I will just force myself to get the water down if I hadn't done so through the day.

....and another accomplishment, twice at work this week, there were free donuts, bagels, muffins for birthdays. I did not have one, I stared at them and thought about it but then I thought I will be so mad if I screw up yet another diet.

Here's hoping that this Atkins success keeps on working. I will be incorporating some exercise next week when I get below 300!

Thanks everyone for the help!!

Congrats on the weight loss! You will see that the temptation to eat a doughnut, bagel, etc. will go away, you won't even want it after you've been eating low carb!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!! I too read the book read the stories about how this works. I had nothing to lose by trying I told my hubby if I gain ANYTHING at the end of two weeks i'll call this a fad i'll move on to try to find something else. IT WORKS AND I FEEL BETTER!. I had about 100 to lose got off 10 in 2 weeks so i'm down to 90 to goal!. I'm so glad I tried this...Glad you tried it too .
