    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!
