Re: 11 inches gone in 12 days, is this normal?
You know...it is very possible. If you were eating foods before you started Atkins that you had a food allergy to (wheat, dairy, etc.) that you may not have known about...you may have been swollen and bloated in a response to that food. When you cut it out doing your Atkins, the swelling and bloat has gone away and you've lost inches.
The tape measure should be your BEST friend doing your atkins. It's a great tool for gauging your success. Congrats on those 11 inches!~Joy
Start 1/2/06 Goal 6/11/07 restart 1/2/09
268.5/196/185
QUIT SMOKING JULY 23, 2006 while on Atkins
Just when you think you've eaten enough vegetables...EAT SOME MORE!

I didn't measure until after week two on the diet and I had already lost around 9 pounds. Since then (3 weeks later) I've only lost two more pounds but I have lost over 14 inches...I can't believe it either!!! I sure am excited and you should be too!! Congratulations on all your inches lost!!!Lis3
