Can this be real?

[tish25]

I have been doing atkins for a week with some wonderful results. I have lost 6.4lbs, yet I found myself thinking... This can't be real! I'm not going to keep losing weight! Why am I even thinking this? has or does anyone else feel the same way?

Yep ... had that feeling.

It seems almost impossible ... yet, it's true!

I'm the same way. I lost quite a bit on induction. I'm moving up the rungs and still losing over 2 lbs a month.

Same here. I just have to look at the results and know it is working. This is my second time around so it was a little easier this time because I already knew it worked, but was nervous initially that it wouldn't work the 2nd time.
Its kind of like...somebody pinch me, so I know it is real.

Yes, I have that feeling whenever I lose a few pounds in a relatively short period of time...it seems like a miracle.

I remember feeling that way.. and even when i could see the results.. something in me kept saying that it was in my imagination that it wasn't really working.. and even now.. after the loss of over 60lbs.. i still look at myself and pinch my fat on my belly and say to myself.. that nothing has changed.. i still sometimes feel like my body is the same as before.. but it really is a smaller version .. i have gone from a size 20 to a 14/12 depending on the cut of jeans.. that is the only way i know.. that it is really real.. i really did loose all that wieght.. and i am not the same fat person i was 11 months ago.. but none the less a struggle in my head every day.

two pounds a month? are you sure you didn't mean a week. two pounds a month does not seem like much.
