  • 6 lbs. gone...give or take!

    I wasn't planning on weighing myself these first two weeks, but I had an early appointment with my nutrionist this morning and she insisted. So, six pounds gone in 4 days. Not so bad, I guess.

    I'd be a little more excited about it if it weren't for the fact that I feel like I just got kicked in the kidney by a horse. I've had a headache since I started Monday and I'm not sure if my stomach hurts because that's a symptom of ketosis or because I'm still hungry. I think it's my body adjusting, my stomach shrinking, or something.

    Drinking all that water has gotten easier. I almost gave in to adding a packet of crystal lite last night with dinner, thanks to my husband who loves that stuff, but I resisted. I think that's been my only craving really.

    My husband's been really good about the menu, or the lack thereof, according to him. I thought I might get into trouble when it came to preparing meals for my three year old, but that's been relatively easy as well. My son loves pastas and breads, but it hasn't been a problem.

    So,.....so far, so good.

        Good job! I too had a headache and mine lasted for about the first week and then abruptly vanished. It isn't fun but it does pass, ibuprofen was my best friend! Are you still hungry after 4 days? If you are hungry you should eat. Have a slice of cheese or some protein, your appetite should drop very soon as well... hang in there, it gets easier

          Weigh to go! Sounds like you have induction flu. It is your body detoxing. Stay strong! If you are hungry then eat! If you are feeling cravings you may want to post your menu so we can see if there may be something in there that is causeing that.

          What does your nutrionist say about Atkins?? No need for lack of menu...check out the recipe section. Some yummy stuff there!
