  • Day 8....11 Pounds Gone!!! Very happy!

    Good morning! I had a feeling I had lost a little weight but not much. I just feel so fat lately. I am not tired or irritable, but I just feel like I'm eating ALL THE TIME. My biggest side effects were on days 2 and 3....horrible headache and sleepy. I've been taking my vitamins and eating an Omega 3-6-9 (for fish oil) every morning. I've been getting alot of water in even though I don't really like it. I have been taking a 3 mile walk twice a week for a few weeks now, and I'm not into exercise anymore but I know I can do this. My only cheat is that I bought some Atkins Advantage Chocolate caramel bars. I've eaten two of them in four days. I had half one day and half the next, which was enough for me. The only thing I really crave is sweetened tea. I DO miss that. Anyway, stepped on the scale this morning....In 8 days, I have lost 11 pounds!!! WOW!!! I don't really feel it, and I've been wearing size 20 so long that I'm not feeling a difference in my clothes yet....but WOW!!!

    I'm so glad my cousin suggested I try this diet. I feel good and the scale is moving. I know it will slow down now. I mean I'm sure most of this is water weight. But still....very happy newbie here!!!
