    Crazy thing called Atkins lol

    Hello all

    I am still not cheating on my extended induction I have yet to hit under 200 lbs I am in 202 lbs la-la-land but when I started this new WOE I was wearing a size 24 as of this weekend I can wear a size 18! I am hitting the gym, stomach is gone way down of course but the flipping weight stays! haha I know it is not about the weight but we are so used to "if the weight is down you are good!" anyways just wanted to share my success so far! weight may not be going down but the clothes sizes have! I am going to try and post photos.
    highest 230 ---- started atkins------current 175 lbs
    July 2009 ---------12/20/2009 ---------03/18/2010
    <------------------>

    I started atkins in late november but every other week just sort of fell off the wagon and was not working out..late december I started to really follow it and added the gym from november to december I only lost like 7 lbs not following it right..from december to march 18 I lost 50 lbs give or take depending what mood my scale is on lol.

    Congratulations on the smaller size!

    I can't urge you strongly enough to move to OWL!

      I say congrats!

      I've also been struggling with the scale... so, I threw it in the closet!

      I FEEL MUCH BETTER NOW.

      Do away with the scale.

        You are doing a great job of shrinking your body
        So try not to think of the scales as being that important in your Atkins journey
        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!

            As your muscles rebuild they'll firm up what used to be flabby... and muscle weighs more than fat. That's why the scale isn't really my friend and why health and nutrition specialists depend upon calipers to determine BMI rather than depend upon weight/height calculations.

            I certainly hope you treated yourself to a new pair of jeans or something along those lines.

            Congratulations!!!
