    10 pounds down in 7 days!

    Good Afternoon,

    I am FINALLY getting over my cold. It was brutal! But I hopped on the scale this morning and it read 215. I hopped on a couple extra times just in case I wasn't reading it right... hehe.

    Obviously I can't sustain such dramatic weight loss, nor would I want to (sagging skin), but it is a nice kick start!

    Just thought I would post my mid induction sucess to give everyone a little motivation to stick to it! I am hoping for 2 more pounds in the next 7 days, but even if I don't - taking 10 off is more then what I hoped for!

    Have a good day everyone!

          Wow! Cool, mine was half that. Of course I don't have too far to go and still another 5 days left of induction but I can hope!

          10 lbs is totally awesome and a great kickstart! Great job! I am completely jealous!

          Keep up the good work!

              Thanks for the feedback J and Michelle!

              Believe me I was completely taken back. I wonder if it has anything to do with my being sick though... who knows. I am still happy.

              I am 5'8 myself, and even though I am "obese" I can see my hipbones and am very muscular. I am a size 14 on top and 16 on the bottom. So I wasn't expecting such a huge loss! No complaints though! Haha

                          What a great start to your Atkins journey!
                          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!

                              Congratulations!! I was at my 7 day mark on Sunday and jumped on the scale too! I lost 9 lbs too! It is a great jump start and i would love to see one more lbs so i can hit my first mini goal, however, I know its more that the % i should have hit during induction so Im certainly not expecting anymore.

                              We can do this!

                                  Yay LoriMarie! That makes me happy, maybe it wasn't me being sick! Congratulations! We actually have the same amount of weight to lose overall too haha...
