    Is this possible?

    When I began Atkins a week ago, I weighed around 212-215. I am 193lbs. this morning. I'm not disappointed...far from it,but seriously? I think I am in shock. I even weighed myself in different places to be sure. I know to use the same scale as much as possible but I had to make sure it was right.

    My first time on Atkins back in 2006, I lost a total of 37 lbs in 3 months or so. I remember my first week of induction I lost 9 lbs. So this 19 lbs. seems wild to me. Anyone else had a woosh such as this?


    Thanks-

    Amy

    It certainly is possible! A lot of it is probably water weight (but it's still weight!). You could well have been bloated before you started, retaining water etc. As long as you're eating properly and following plan, you should continue to get fantastic results.

      I have been on plan to a T. I have not cheated and my percentages on fitday have been coming out about where they should be (sometimes one or two are a percentage off). I am trying really hard to take control of my weight and be a healthier person. I feel like crying because I am so happy right now. I even made my husband come look at the scale with me (poor guy, lol). I have to say looking at the picture thread and reading other people's journal is really helping me stay motivated so I thank everyone here. I hope that I can be an inspiration to someone when my journey unfolds.

            You're welcome You're the one who is doing all the hard work, not us - remember that!

            That said, this place has been a haven for me over the past 4 years. I would never have been able to get the motivation or determination if it weren't for the wonderful people of ADBB!

              It is most certainly possible (not necessarily typical) and is even more certainly fantastic! Use this feeling as further motivation. Keep up the good work!!

                    What a great start!
                    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!
