    Need Encouragement!!!

    I am so frustrated!!!! today was kinda a bad day. I had a lot of sugar cravings and then at the end of the day (with running shoes and running clothes on) i decided to weigh myself and measure myself. Bad idea. It is only my 6th day but i was hoping for a quick fix i guess. I weighed with these factors against me at 174.3. Now without my clothes and all of that food (which i also ate a lot today, under the carb amounts, yet 1800 cals) I probably was less but still... and my measurements showed my thighs at 25.5 which is minus an inch for both thighs together and 43 for my hips which is minus an inch. so about 2 inches off. but for some reason that frustrates me. I guess i just really am still scared. I am scared of this not working, of me somehow doing this wrong, maybe not counting carbs that are hidden or for some reason this not working for me. i don't know. i didn't workout today either besides about an hour walk to clear my head. I will weigh in on my week mark on monday morning (2 days away) before i eat and after i workout so that i can hopefully get a good weigh in. I would LOVE to be in the 160s... My fiance is coming home in the Middle of August from deployment and i really want to look good for him. i also really just want to look in the mirror and feel good about myself. he bought me some form fitting shirts and i really really really want to wear them...without feeling bad about myself. I sure could use some "boost me up" words of encouragement right about now! has anyone ever felt like i do????

    First - congratulations on the 6 days cheatfree!!
    That is a great achievement which many of us struggle with and you have succeeded! Well done

    Weighing in the evening is not a good thing to do as most of us weigh a few pounds heavier than we do in the mornings - and in spite of this you showed a loss!! And you have lost inches already too!! Another success

    Well done on getting exercising this early in your Atkins journey too I am confident you will see great results after your first 14 days on induction
    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!

      Hang in there and keep posting.. NEVER weigh in the evenings.. I weigh first thing in the morning naked right after I go potty... That way your body is empty from sleeping..

      You will look better by August Look at the pictures on this board and there is proof

        First off...........NEVER WEIGH in the afternoon or evening. I always weigh and measure first thing in the morning. Looks like you are losing inches too! CONGRATULATIONS!

        Try to stay off the scale until day 15. Yourr weight will always flux and you have to remember weight lose is NOT a linear process. I think your progress is GREAT so far. Baby step your way right to day 15 and then get on the scale!

        YOU CAN DO IT! Six days is a drop in the bucket. Remember how long it took you to gain the weight, so be patient. It will come off.
