    Can I really lose this much?

    Hello, I have beeon atkins for about 7 days and 3 of those I cheated and quit during the evening, but I have been cheat free for 4 days now and I check my weight for the first time and it says I lost 17 lbs! is that even possible?? i know i started at 225 now the scale says 208, I did not believe it so I drove to my sisters house and use her scale haha and it says 18 lbs! lol I think I will stick with the medium of 17. I know I wear a 2x shirts and today I wore an XL shirt given to me by my gym and it is loose, I am so happy

    It actually IS possible. Keep in mind that the majority of those pounds lost were water weight. Evidently, you carried quite a bit of it. Either way, it's gone and took some fat pounds with it. Congrats to you and flaunt it!

            Don't forget that you lost EXTRA water weight. That is water that your body shouldn't be holding (retaining), not pounds that you will gain back when you drink a cup of water.

            Good job!!

                    rung 3 - seeds, nuts (mostly sprinkled on salads)
                    rung 4 - berries, melon
                    rung 5 - wine -
                    rung 6 - beans, hummus
                    rung 7 - other fruits
                    rung 8 - carrots/ potatoes (nah, prolly not)
                    rung 9 - whole grains (fresh Dutch breads...)
                    Major Goal - 128 lbs/ healthy range

                          4 kilos can easily come from water retention if you did not drink enough water previously. also ketosis makes you lose excess water too. since you start at 225, half a kilo a day while eating right is entirely possible.
