    Started Today...huge disappoinment!

    Hi guys.
    Unfortunately i weighted myself a few minutes ago and had a huge disappointment.
    According to me my weight was 85 kg (that was the last number i saw on the scale when i weighted myself a few weeks ago), but then i looked down and the number i saw was a horrendous 92 kg!!!!!!
    I am about to cry!!! How did this happen?? 85 kg was my heaviest record and honestly i am stunned now.
    I really have to so something about my weight ASAP!!
    So guys... its no longer 20 kg that i have to lose, its 27 (I want to weight 65 by November)!
    Please, i need some words of encouragement right now because i really feel like .
    My wedding is in November and i want to look good.
    I'll keep track of my weight and measurements every week and will keep you guys posted on whats going on.
    Thanks for reading me.

    Have you been tracking how much you've been eating? Are you sure you're not eating something 'illegal'? If you arn't tracking your food start a FitDay or some other calorie counting journal. That will help you really see where this is going.

      Do yourself a huge favor and read DANDR 2002, stay away from processed foods and follow the plan as Dr. Atkins wrote it in DANDR. You will have results!!

      When you are alone in your head, you are in a bad neighborhood.

        Please don't be discouraged - that won't help. Use those feelings to fuel your determinaton even more. Follow the book, drink your water, get some excercise daily and visit this board often. I'm restarting induction(again) so I know all about the disappointment - but I can't give up...gotta keep trying. I just know that I can't quit. You can do this...it's been done by many and you'll find plenty of people here who have been in your shoes...they want to help...let them.

        You can do this. It doesn't matter what the scale said today because it's only temporary...that number is on it's way down.

        Take care!

          Why don't you post your meals Review My Menu - Atkins Diet and see if anyone can help you.

          This plan does work, don't give up - there has to be an answer. Good luck

              Please do not get discouraged so soon. It is recommended that you not weigh every day but weekly because your weight can fluctuate within a day based on so many different factors. You could have been bloated, may have had a lot of salt or just drank a lot of water. It's too soon to tell. Please stick with it I saw my big weight drop and change on day 5. Give it the two weeks and then decide. I hope you keep going

                That's right.



                pinktulip, you are already doing something about it by starting Atkins. If you follow the plan, you'll never see 92 kg again.

                  What a good thing you did weigh today and discover your true weight - if you had assumed you started at 85 kgs then got on the scales after 14 days on induction and seen a number higher than that you would have thought that Atkins did not work for you and given up
                  Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                  Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
