  • Three months in...

    I just wanted to share my stats with everyone as I'm at the three month mark on Atkins. I did the two week induction, then moved into OWL.
    You can see my weight loss in the ticker, my measurements are as follows:

    L. thigh: lost 2 1/4 inches
    Waist at navel: lost 4 inches.
    Hips at hip bones: lost 3 inches.
    Butt: lost 3 inches.

    I just wanted to add that although, for me, weight loss slowed dramatically during OWL, it does not mean that "Atkins stopped working." I would lose almost nothing for a week or two, then I'd dump a few pounds. I hope this is uplifting to some who are struggling or getting discouraged.

    I owe much of my success so far to this board. I have found journaling in the "stats" section very helpful. I want to thank everyone here for being a part of the best Atkins board on the net.

    I hope to join the maintenance folks in 2-3 more months.
    Stats:
    Age: 41
    Sex: F
    Height: 5'2"
    Highest weight ever: 170+
    Goal: 114

            Well done - keep up the good work
            Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
            Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
