urplequ: :confused Ok....I was planning on going onto OWL on Monday as that is when my 14 days will be up on induction. My reasons for heading to OWL is because I want to follow the plan and make this a WOL not just a quick fix. We'll see how everything looks as of Sunday but as of right now I haven't lost much weight...I think that about 2 lbs of my loss is from TOM water weight gain because I was hovering around the 142.5 lbs mark before starting and on the day I started Atkins and did my checkin I was 145 then the TOM came not to long after that...SO I'm not really sure I should be counting those lbs which would make my actual loss only about 2 lbs or so :sadblinky ....ANYWAY..... I don't think I'm really losing that fast..I'm wondering if I should stay on induction another week and then head to OWL to try to keep this weight loss going at an accelerated pace :confused as I have less than 4 weeks til our vacation :yikes . OR if I should head to OWL and hope my weight loss continues :confused ..I'm really nervous about heading to OWL and not losing what I would like to before vacation...This is a HUGE trip, one we've been talking about taking for FIVE years and finally last minute decided to just book it :joy and I don't want to go in the shape I'm in right now :sadblinky ...NONE of my summery clothes fit me and I don't want all the photos and memories from this trip to include me being overweight :sadblinky

Move onto OWL, you need the time to go up the OWL rungs and figure out what food groups work for you. I'm sure TOM has played a part in your slow loss so far.
Up your exercise, that will help accelerate the loss AND make you feel better

I agree, as I always do, with Loona! Besides, I am still losing just as well in OWL as I was in Induction, and I love the different varieties of food!
You will look your best for your vacation, and I hope you will look even better come Christmas next year~!!! Go long term, girl!33 yo // Female // 5'4"
