    Intro - day 17

    This is my 17th day, and so far it is going well. My start weight was 193, and my goal is to lose 20% of that - so 154. This morning I weighed in at 178.6.

    I see that many on this site have "mini-goals" set for themselves. Should I break my goal down some? Maybe that would help keep me motivated??

    I have set rules for myself, but would love some advice on how to make this work better. Here are my rules:

    1) Follow the book! He was on to something...
    2) 20-30 minutes of "power-walking" (I'm working up to jogging...) at least 4 days each week FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
    3) Water, water, water...soda only once every couple of days.
    4) No alcohol. Period.
    5) Nothing to eat after 6:30. (I think this is realistic - I get up at 4 and go to bed around 8:30.)

    Thoughts?

    Who can argue with results like yours?

    I love it when folks mention water! Sometimes I see folks whine, 'why do I need so much water!' as if Atkins is making them need it. Your body just NEEDS it and you will FEEL so much BETTER if you drink it. Atkins is just putting us in touch with what our bodies ALREADY need!

    I agree with everything you posted!

      Hey - I'm way new to this site, but what does STAC mean?

      I see that your signature says that you have done this before. I have to confess - I have too! I did Atkins faithfully in '04 and went from 182-129. (129 in the height of a divorce, too low in reality) I'm ashamed to admit that I gained it back (+10 more!) over the last 4 years. Ugh.

      The good thing? I KNOW this works!

      Thanks for the fast reply!
