Re: Check in & Reporting Thread for All NEW YEARS Atkineers!

I am new to this forum, or any forum for that matter. Everytime I do a search about Adkins, this is one of the places I am directed to, so I think I am suppose to be here!! I have been reading the message boards and I must say that you all are so inspiring.

I have done Adkins before so I know it works...I look forward to meeting new friends, and I must say the induction sample menus & before and after pictures have been the greatest help!!!

hi everyone,

Its morning here in Korea and day 14 and i don't have scales in my flat agghhh! I'm so curious to know if iv lost anything at all since on day 7 i was still the same weight! I feel fantastic though and i defo feel my trousers a little looser so i don't care what my scales say, i FEEL its working and thats enough for me. I'm going to move on to OWL, I don't think staying on induction will speed up my weight loss so onwards and upwards. Il going to the gym after work so il post back my results tonight. Fingers crossed.

Well done on your 7lbs loss, thats fantastic, if you keep up losing like that you'll be there in no time.

Starting weight: 152.2lbs
Currently: ?????

Hi everyone,

I wrapped up induction and am now in OWL 1. I have to admit that the first two days have been just like my induction menus but I am focusing on adding more veggies as my goal this week. I haven't weighed myself but over the past two weeks I have lost a total of 8.5 inches from my bust, waist, and hips. My pants were starting to fall down today so that's a good sign. My only issue is actually trying to eat enough food!

hi everyone,

first day of OWL don't really know what to do differently, iljust add a cup of veggies into my stirfry tonight. Ok, so i lost 3lbs on induction according to the evil scales, but iv my TOM and im hoping thats having an effect on the numbers. But if not, its a good start, im 3lbs lighter than i was 2wks ago. Im not weighing my self till the end of next week now. I feel like iv lost a lot more, i dont care what my scales say, my trousers are looser on the hips and everyone at work agrees, so thats gonna be my scales from now on. Il only use them to monitior the effects of thr rungs on OWL.

Quick question, should i only eat the extra veg 3 times this week, then everyday next week?

How are all the New Years folks doing starting week 4? How is OWL going? I'm doing good, added more veggies, some cucumber, more green beans w/ butter, a little bit of pumpkin w/ cinnamon & splenda.
I've decided I'm going to loose 4 lbs in each rung before moving up, rather than giving myself a time limit in each rung.
I'm looking forward to the dairy rung.

Re: Check in & Reporting Thread for All NEW YEARS Atkineers!

I am a couple days short of 3 weeks! I still have not weighed since starting. I feel that day is coming soon. I have noticed the last couple days....my body feels different. I have a lot of weight to lose.
The most important thing I have noticed is my behavior. I notice that when I start feeling stress or upset I am standing in the kitchen. My next response USED to be opening the pantry and grabbing a bag of something of stuffing myself. I feel like, not only am I making myself healthy by losing weight and eating more nutrious foods, I am learning what seems to be triggers for me. I hope to start journaling. This web-site is very important for me. Reading it keeps me inspired and helps keep me true to myself.
