Brand spanking neeewww!

[evil_genius81]

Hi All! Nice to meet you!

I'm Sam, from London... just moved to Essex with my partner and seems being contented has encouraged me to pack on a few pounds, so here I am needing to lose 2 stone would ya believe (according to my doc) although I'm gonna try 1 stone first and see how I look... I don't think I'm built for skinnyness...if that makes sense at all lol!

So, I'm 10st at the mo.... would be really helpful to know how much you guys lost in your induction phase - I know everyone is different, but just out of curiosity (go on, you knwo you wanna tell lol).

Welcome to the wonderful world of ADBB Sammy. Its always good to see new people from the South of England join.

To answer your question, I'm afraid I cant actually remember how much I lost in induction as it was 3 years ago. But I have lost around 70lb in total.

Welcome again.

Hiya, well it's nice to be appreciated, I must say!!

Well, I only ask as I have been on Atkins since last Friday (1st Dec), and when I weighted myself after the weekend on Monday (4th Dec) I'd lost 4lbs - which I thought was amazing! Am wondering how much I'm going to lose on the induction alone!

I'm a happy bunny so far. that's for sure!

Thanks for this cool forum btw, I've already read so many interesting hints and tips!

(EDIT) Hang on....70lbs!!!??? WOOAH!!! Well blimmin done! Thats fantastic!

Hi Sam

I lost about 7lbs I think!! So 4lbs so far for you is really good - especially since you havent that much to lose.

Good luck on your induction - I look forward to seeing how much you lose

Re: Brand spanking neeewww!

Hehe, thanks Jane - 7 lbs in 2 weeks is fantastical! That...thats....*gets scientific calculator out.....* 0.5lb per day! (I'm not Evil_Genius for nothing ya know, check out the brainpower!)

Awesomeness! I still have a few days left before my first week is up, so maybe i'll reach that impressive loss too! *fingers crossed*

Re: Brand spanking neeewww!

Hi Sammy! Glad you've joined us. As you said, everyone is different. I had lots to lose when I began (140 pounds). I did a clean induction and started walking and lost 17 pounds the first two weeks - but the best thing I can tell you is that no matter how much you need to lose, it will happen if you are serious about doing the program.

Welcome aboard! I look forward to hearing about your success in future posts. You can do it, we are all here to support you!

Re: Brand spanking neeewww!

Hi and thanks for replying dreamof145! I'm glad I found you all too. This is such a nice place, everyone seems so supportive - not something I've had when trying various diets in the past, which is probably why i've failed (bah!)

I am trying like mad to have a clean induction, but I may have messed up last night when I had KFC (no fries of course)! Just hoping I show some kinda loss next time I weigh in!

*fingers crossed*

Hey Evil! Welcome to the board. 4 pounds is really great. There is no rush to lose weight, even though we all want it now! Steady loss is a loss that will stay off! Please let us know the total pounds lost after the first 14 days! You may be pleasantly surprised and proud!

Don't worry too much about that. As long as you stick to the plan the weight will come off
