My first two days have been rather successful, with the exception of my Mom giving me Clementines as an Xmas gift LOL... Hope they last thru induction

Re: Atkins buddy?

A suggestion here. You might want to share your emails in private messages instead of posting them in the forums. This is a public forum and giving the whole world the possibility to find your email (especially if it's your primary email) is not the wisest thing to do.

Re: Atkins buddy?

Thanks Georgiana, I appreciate your concern. I will be sure and send her my email privately also.

Re: Atkins buddy?

Hi Cat!

Not too far behind at all.. we are in induction too. Tomorrow is my 1 week mark..although I weighted myself a few times this week just cause I am curious! I have already lost 8 lbs!!! I am amazed this is working so well and so fast. I know it will slow down the next week or I may even gain a pound or two back but man 8 so far is so good!!

Our starting weights are almost the same, how tall are you? Im 5'7" and we have pretty much the same goal weight too!!

Welcome to the forum..this has been such a helpful and inspiring place!! I was just googleing some diets and landed on this page and read some posts and checked out the before and after pics and was amazed with the changes..2 days later I started it. I dont think I would have started this diet without it!!

Welcome! (and again check out the before and afters page...its nothing but inspiration and motivation!!)

Re: Atkins buddy?

Wait..let me correct myself in saying this is not a diet..after a week on it I agree with everyone on here in saying this is a Way of Eating..No starving No crazy calorie counting..just keeping an eye on the carbs and Im good to go!

Re: Atkins buddy?

Dreamer - I'm only 5'3, on day 2 and determined to lose this weight now. I have spent the last few years doing lots of unsuccessful IVFs and want to take some kind of control over my body now that I have decided no more treatments.

Wow, 8 pounds already, that's fantastic! I love it when you stop feeling hungry all the time. Last time I did low carb seriously often I was shocked that it was lunchtime already!!! Whereas usually I'm thinking "when can I eat?"

Big hello to everyone here, and massive good luck

Re: Atkins buddy?

Cat! So sorry I never responded for some reason my email didnt tell me that there were responses since my last post!! How are you doing?? How is the eating going, you must be one week down by now!

I just reached day 14 today.. Total loss of 10lbs!!!!! 8 in the first week and 2 in the second!! Oh and I discovered a new love, pork rinds with salsa, guacamole and sour cream!!!! Delish! I do make my own guacamole and salsa so that I can keep it in my points for the day!

Let me know how you are doing...
