I was just curious about other peoples results. I know everyone is different, but I just wondered how some people did in their first month. Did you physically feel better or worse?
I don't remember how many lbs I lost in the 1st month the first time I did atkins. This is my second time around and I've been on it for just over 2 weeks, 7 lbs lost so far and 10 inches around my body.
I tell you right now I feel FANTASTIC!

I think about 10lb. And except for that first few days of induction "flu" I have felt great. I sleep better, my nails seem harder, I have a lot of energy and am generally in better mood than I used to be.

Im at the end of my first month, and have lost 18 lbs....and I feel fantastic. In addition to this WOE, I have been exercizing a lot, and drinking lots of water...I think those 3 together are key.
23. And by the end of the first month I felt great. Amazed how well Atkins works. I also started to realize my reflux was gone. My skin was not so dry. I was not grumpy. My teeth did not hurt. And probably a few others by then.
I started jan 5th, so almost a month. I am down 18lbs, but I actually lost all that in the first 2 weeks. I am just trying to work through a stall, but I have added exercise and more water so I think the scale will start moving down again.
I actually have felt bad this first few weeks. Its not all to blame from atkins, but I had started having really bad acid reflux a few days in. I am on medication now and not having a problem with it. Other than that, its wonderful that I am already in a size smaller!
