3rd Day in and 4 lbs GONE!!!

[CarbHunter]

I am feeling great!

I woke up this morning, looked in the mirror, and WOW--I was visually smaller around the the midsection and the back.

Now I thought to myself, hey, everyone looks and in many cases are slimmer in the morning because of the overnight fast from food and water, buuuut,
now the day has ended, and I've been eating like there's no tomorrow (the normal way I eat) I still see a difference.

The scale also reflects it!!!

I'm determined to cruise through this induction period--at least endure it.

Hi I am new to this website and to Atkins - I am ending my 4th day and have not lost any weight - I am not going to get discouraged but hope the scale shows a loss soon

Way to go Scott ...gives you a real boost when u can see the difference both physically & on them scales hey. I am on day 4 & have lost 3 lb. & boy has my tummy flattened out. Amazing how it can make u feel so good hey.
Happy don't worry too much about the scales not moving we aren't supposed to weigh ourselves for that reason lol but the temptation is too great for me. Did you take your measurements before you started because you can lose inches without the scales showing a loss. And you may find you will have a big loss all at once so don't stress too much.

I am trying really hard not to weigh every day but my shoes are all getting big on me.

Good job. I too have witnessed the shrinking effect of Atkins. I'm on day 10 and have only lost 6lbs but I look much smaller than I did 10 days ago. Mostly in my hands.

Good job, keep going!

the same thing happened to me as well. I'm on day 5 now and haven't lost any more weight. I am going to wait until the end of Week 1 of Induction before I weigh myself again.

Good for you. I bet you will see progress if you wait to weigh.

Hide your scale!!! LOL

I am soooo tempted to weigh in...but I am waiting until 14 days is up.

I will then weigh in, in 14 day increments...I find it helps with disappointments from day to day fluctuations in weight, depending on salt intake, water retention, **whispers** whether you've gone to the bathroom for the day...

Good luck!
