    So Naughty!!! weight lose stopped?

    Hi Everyone,

    I started the Atkins Diet on Sunday weighing 143lbs and by the next day I had lost 2 lbs. I was so happy. but I have been naughty and been weighing myself every morning and I am weighing the same 141. It seems like it stopped!!! I am just worried I might not lose anymore. Its my 5th day, I should have lost something (i think) . I have been doing the diet very strictly and followed all the rules. I am also going to the gym 3 times a week and walking to work and back. I drink loads of water too.
    Don't want to lose faith. I just want to lose 20lbs.

    Is this ok??? is it normal for the weight lose to stop like that?? I do feel lighter tho. and my work trousers are very loose now. its just weird!
    Help pls!!!!

    Have a lovely day everyone!

    Dr Atkins considered losing inches was a better proof of losing fat then losing pounds, so don't fret about it

    If seeing the scales go up now and again is likely to make you doubt what you are doing it might be better not to get on them so often

    Wait till you have been doing induction for 14 days then weigh to see what amount you have lost then.
    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!

      I've read posts on here that you can expect to lose 5-10% of the weight you need to lose on Induction. If you are shooting to lose 20 pounds, I'd say losing the two pounds right off the bat is pretty great. Keep at it!

      And maybe you should take measurements. YOu may gain musclemass from your workouts, but shrink in inches.

      Keep it up, and great job!

          Thanks for your comments!!!! I was getting worried and I have been really good. I go to the gym and do BODY PUMP which is an hour of weight training just to tone and also do 2 hours of aerobics, so thats my 3 hours at the gym plus my walking back and forth to work and chasing after my active 2 year old toddler!!! LOL
          You are right Geminiprincess, might be muscle.
          Elizellen, I will try not to get on the scales til my 14 day!!!! thx!
          Thanks again! will keep you posted.
