Re: disappointed

Thanks a lot! I know I shouldn't even be on a scale. But it really gives me inspiration to keep going. Plus, there is a huge scale at anytime fitness where I work out and I swear it always calls my name before I leave. I just have to jump on. I've learned from the post however to def. not obsess over it. I'm just going to keep on keeping on because I do feel like a different person on this diet. It's hard to explain. It's like after those first couple of day (which are pretty hard and horrible) you feel great. At least I do. Anyone else have that going on?

Re: disappointed

Wow, How much have you lost. Dr A said that after induction you should have lost 10% of what you wanted to lose, so if you only wanted to lose 15 pounds, thats 1.5 pounds during induction. BUT, don't be discouraged. If you stick with it you should drop about 1-2 pounds a week. This WOE isn't a fast way to lose weight. Happy low carbing

Re: disappointed

I weigh several times every day, I know the weight of most of my clothes, the weight I should expect in the morning based on what I weigh before going to bed... you get the idea. I don't see anything wrong in weighing often as long as one don't gets discouraged about (or, worse, cheat because of) no loss or (sometimes) gain. But I've seen many people on the board giving up or visiting carbville because of whatever the scale said, so it depends on the person.

I never had the induction flu, but it does take a few days for energy to kick in. The way I feel when I am doing Atkins is the reason I why am following this woe, not so much the weight loss part. That's just the bonus.
