The first week I lost 6 lbs. and the second week I lost 2 lbs. I am now in my third week. I am trying to stay positive. I know that I should be proud of that 8 lbs, but I was sort of disappointed in the second week results. However, I am pressing on staying in induction for awhile. Any suggestions?

Re: 23 days in
Congratulations!
In general, in the first week one loses a lot of water weight. As times go by, what is lost is mainly fat... so it's natural for things to slow down.

Re: 23 days in
hang in there weight loss isn't linear and we will have slow weeks fast weeks flat weeks and even a few weeks with gains but the overall direction is downward.
what are you doing for that mandatory exerricse part of your atkins? I was bigger then you when I started and walking was my chosen exercise.
are you taking any meds or have any health conditions that might hinder your weight loss?
Hang in there Betty a former mod and admin here lost nothing for her induction but she hung in there and in 10 months had shed 40 pounds and was a goalie so you can make it even if you don't have a great induction weight loss.by the book atkinseer

Re: 23 days in
Well, I have lost now over 10 lbs. (19 days-not 23-I added a week for some reason). I need to relax-10 lbs. (at least-haven't weighed in 3 days) is good for 19 days I think. I am exercising (treadmill and Wii Fit Plus). Thanks for the supportive comments! Isn't Atkins great? I feel so much better and not so weighed down.Comment
