  • Yeah - INCHES

    I posted here last week - "Gaining". Well I am in week 3 currently and at the end of my first 14 days I lost 6 pounds (which I am happy with) BUT I lost a total of 13 inches (34 cm's) which is made up of a loss on ALL the areas I have measured before I started Atkins.

    I just wanted you guys toknow - we complain about not loosing a pound a day ???!!!!!, but I "only" lost 6 pounds, but the inches is what counts - It is because of the inches I lost that I can already after as little as 14 days wear pants to work today that I could not even get close to closing the zip (not even lying down) a couple of weeks ago.

    Atkins really works and EXERCISE (I do Tae bo for 1 hour about 5 out of the 7 days) - I focus on the exercise & use Atkins to feed my strength for the workouts.

    So - irrespective of the pounds lost - FOCUS on those inches girls / guys ..... that is what will get you into that smaller size clothing.

    Yes I agree. Getting on the scale was never a good thing for me.
    I weighed myself last week and noticed a 2 pound increase from just two day.
    I know I did'nt Gain 2 pounds. Must be water weight or due to not going to the bathroom as regular as I use to. BUT my clothes are fitting me much better.
    My family is noticing I look better. So I know it's coming off.
    It's funny how we are overweight for so long and then go on this diet and want to hurry up and get it off. So I'm just going to continue and "look" better and better each day.

          Hooray! I love losing inches! Nobody else but you sees what the scale says, but everyone can see when you are visibly SMALLER and your clothes get baggy!

          Congratulations.
