    I have a question

    I have been on the atkins diet since Sept 3rd and as of yesterday I had lost 14lbs total, I had a doctors appointment today and when she weighed me it said I had lost 12 more lbs since yesterday!? Bringing my total weight loss to 26 lbs!! Is it really possible to drop 12 lbs in 1 day!?

    I bet you're just using different scales!

    What do your scales at home say today?

      Well, I'm no expert but I'd say that it's not possible to lose 12 pounds in one day...something's not right.

        I am sure is the scale difefrent... maybe is possible to loose like 3 to 4lbs ina a day as our body in woman specially tend to fluctuate a lot I tend to jump like 5lbs form day to day lol.. but 12 lbs Ia m sure the scales are just different.. weigh at home and see what it says!
        either way Congrats on the weight loss!

          Next time you weigh in at the doctor's office, go home in weigh yourself on your home scale to calibrate the weight. They probably differ by around 12 pounds.

          When you are alone in your head, you are in a bad neighborhood.

            I just weighed myself at home.. and it says 320..I swear yesterday it said 332.. how strange. I stalled for almost a week and all of sudden it is melting off. IDK. I'm no going to question it anymore I will just take it and smile!

                Of course it's possible to lose that much weight in one day...just lop off a leg or two and bingo you've lost heaps of weight...the down side is that you can't stand on the scales any more!!

                      Whether you lost all those extra pounds in a few days or maybe misread the scales a day or so ago and have lost it over a longer time period doesn't matter - you have lost all that weight!!
                      Keep up the good work!!
                      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!
