Hey my name is Shane, I'm 21 - I started Atkins on Wednesday February 3rd weighing 279 pounds. I am in my fourth week now (Thursday the fourth will be the start of my fifth week ) and I currently weigh 256 pounds.
I'm so happy I've lost that much! I've read the book and just started OWL. Adding a serving of veggies to a meal for three days a week. I lost 17 pounds in the first two weeks. (10 the first week and 7 the second) I decided to move onto OWL because the weight wasn't coming off as nice as it was the first two weeks. I know it is supposed to slow down though.
ISSUE****: The only issue I have is I'm not showing...... I would think I would notice something after losing 23-24 pounds. I feel the same way... and look the same. I don't look like I weigh 280 pounds, my friends always guess 230 or 225. The reason is because I'm proportionate, I don't have ALL of my fat in my stomach or in my legs. Its spread throughout making me look stocky.
Do you think I'm not noticing because I'm losing in areas all over my body? Otherwise, what should I do? I was doing moderate workouts 3 times a week. I was in athletics my whole life so maybe it isn't enough activity. I'm guessing I'll start showing once I get in the 230's? Which is about a 50 pound weight loss.
