    New to Atkins

    Hello everyone I have recently started the Atkins diet on Feb 9,2009 I started at a weight of 250 and as the first week Feb 16, 2009 I had lost 16 pounds down to 234. I was so excited when I stepped on the scales I know that the weight loss will slow down but WOW it made me feel good and work harder on exercising more. I am getting married this year and want to look and feel great for my special day. I have two wonderful children 14 and 11 and they keep me on my toes but I love them with all my heart thats one reason I wont to be healthy. All is going well except for a few cases of diarrhea that I haven't figured out what caused it I think that it may be eggs because the three times that it happened I ate eggs and all other days Im fine. What I can't figure out it why eggs I have ate them all my life and never has this happened. If anyone has had something similar to this happen to them please let me know.

    Good luck to everyone

      Almost everyday of my first two weeks were spent mostly in the bathroom....I thought I had a stomach problem until I read that it's normal. Don't worry, it will go away in a few days. Congrats on your loss so far!! It's the greatest feeling in the world to get on the scale and see how much has literally just fallen off your body!

        MsBossier, I am one of the ones who had the opposite problem! But either extreme is normal as your body adjusts to its new fat-burning metabolism.

        Congratulations on the WONDERFUL weight loss, and looking forward to following your progress.
