Welcome to ADBB, Stefany!

Well, if you drank 1 liter of water and ate some food, then you will weigh more. Listen to what Dr. Atkins wrote and don't weigh yourself more than once a week during Induction. When you do weigh, do it in the morning, so that you only weigh yourself and not the stuff you ate/drank.

Check the "Before and After Pics" forum for some inspiration and to convince yourself that Atkins works: Before And After Pics - Atkins Diet

And read Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (2002 ed.) too, because there it's explained why and how Atkins works.

Do not weigh yourself more than once a day, and actually, once a week is adequate. I understand the feeling of wanting to weigh constantly though, I really do!

And Atkins really works, if you follow the rules Welcome!

Good luck Stefany! Welcome. Atkins works darlin. stay off the scale. I wanted to weigh all the time too! I still do. I make sure I don't get on that scale more than once a week. And measure. i know you may not want to, but after 2 weeks of this, you will be amazed at what you've shed. Trust me. Drink lots and lots of water. It's a very importany key to weight loss.
Tell me how you have done.

Re: I'm new!!!!

Stefany I'm convinced that Atkins WOE works. I have always had a hard time losing weight and this is the best I've ever done on any "diet", even though I have only ever drank water...no alcohol or juices....and I used to do a daily hill climb, then treadmill jogging and body sculpting workouts. I just could not lose the weight and would mostly stay the same. I would then get discouraged and stop exercising and as soon as I did that I would just gain weight instantly it seemed. Now I feel so much better doing this.

I know its easy to get discouraged...I tried before and didnt complete a clean induction, but this time I did and lost almost 11 pounds and quite a bit off my waist (I have to keep looking at my belly each time I pass a mirror just to convince myself I am not dreaming and just this morning I bathed and put on an underwear that fitted too tight just a few weeks ago...its okay not (sorry if thats TMI).

I am trying my best to go through the rungs as prescribed and I anxiously await the great results I see others having on this WOE. The before and after pics are a real inspiration. They motivate me and I think they will do the same for you too.
