12 days induction...loss of 3 lbs

[yadira0122]

The loss is not typical for induction (well below average) but I am hoping this is due to the fact that I dont have much to lose...I initially set to lose 10 stubborn pounds, and now have 7 more to go. While I was hoping to lose more, I am staying positive....after all I have tried everything else to lose this last stubborn bit of fat with no avail (low cal, low fat) so I guess I just have to hang in there. Also have been constipated, perhaps this also plays into it.

My question to all of you is....My induction is set to be done Wednesday. Should I go into extended induction? (since my losses are so slow) or should I feel confident that I will continue to lose on OWL?

Thanks for your input!

Having so little to lose, you should definitely move on to OWL!!

Move to OWL, follow the program, exercise and drink your water - the weight will come off.

No - go to OWL.

I lost 5 pounds on Induction, aiming for about 30 total.

I'm going on to OWL. The first time I did this, I lost 5 on Induction, and 10 on OWL (before I got pregnant and couldn't lose weight any more).

OWL is just so much better!

I would say that a loss of 30% of your hoped for loss in 12 days is a terrific success

Yes, move to the main weightloss phase of Atkins, Ongoing Weight Loss/OWL after your 2 weeks are up
