7-day weigh in!

[jwoods03]

and..........8.8 pounds down! Yay! I am still struggling with dehydration I am thinking! My lips are splitting and bleeding since I started the diet. I am drinking 100oz of pure water a day...the only way my lips are getting better is if I drink even more, but than I have a hard time eating anything because of how full i am! I have tried everything on my lips thats available but the only thing working is water...help?

Anyway 8.8 in one week is more than I have ever lost on any diet in its entirety!

Woo hoo on your great start.

your body should adjust tot he thrist issues as you continue drinking your water and eating your atkins.

check your fat intake to be sure it is not too low too as that can effect skin too.
besure you are not licking your dry lips as that can actually make then worse.

Congrats on the lbs lost!

Did you have a problem with chapped lips before Atkins, too?

Maybe it's just the cold?

Re: 7-day weigh in!

have you checked your nutrtion in something like the free Fitday.com to be sure you are not deficient in any vits and/or minerals as some of those can cause cracked chapped lips too.

Great gob!
Today was my 7 day weigh in as well and I am down 8.6 lbs! I am very happy.
I have dry lips as well but its winter here and thats normal. I have been drinking 64 oz+ a day and I will still get dry lips here in the winter if I dont put something on them. I just use plain vasiline.
