Woosh!!

[MrsChesterDogg]

I've been so discouraged the past 3 weeks or so. I hadn't lost ANY weight but I also hadn't gained any either. I was just at a standstill and very downhearted about it.
But, this morning I got on the scale and I had actually lost 6 lbs! I'm very pleased to say the least. I actually feel like doing a little jig.
Anyhow, I'm going back out to support my hard working husband while he's cutting the grass. Just had to share with all my buds here on the bb.

Woo hoo! Good job for working your way out of this weight loss pause.

How did your body measurements change? Losing inches is more encouraging than losing weight, imo, because it actually means you'll be able to wear smaller clothes.

Re: Woosh!!

I must confess I haven't measured myself from the beginning. I started back on Atkins in order to get my blood sugars down out of of the clouds. I figured if I lost a few lbs it would be a bonus.
I can tell, however, by the way I am able to move around. My favorite place to relax in the evening is on the sofa. Before going back to Atkins it was extremely hard for me to get up from the sofa. It was even hard for me to get out of bed then. Now it's so much easier to do both. I've noticed that the arthritis pain in both my hips and back has greatly improved as well. I truly think this is the way we are supposed to eat. Plenty of protein and fat, and good leafy and non starchy veggies.

Oh, the little perks of Atkins.
It's good that you are aware of how much better you are feeling and not only of the weight loss.

I'm not a person who goes around "spreading the word" about anything. I tend to keep my mouth shut about my beliefs, but in this case it makes me want to shout to everyone. Come on and get on the Atkins boat!
