Re: New and Introducing myself

Thank You Liv.. I understand.. I guess I am kind of angry about why its pausing the start of the 3rd week of my diet....But the doctor said I have to start taking water pills as the water is collecting around my lower legs... so I am hoping that will jump start it back....I am glad to be here.. I am enjoying thumbing thru the recipes...as well...

Hi.
Yes the body pauses. Just keep doing the diet by the book and it will start coming off again. That pause is SO normal and happens to most of us.
Glad to have you here.

Hi Melly! It sounds like you're doing GREAT and then once you add water ( I am new and need to do that too lol oops) it's going to get even better then

Re: New and Introducing myself

Did you take your measurements to begin with? You'll find there are days even weeks where the scale doesn't move but the measuring tape does.....

As far as feeling bloated that will happen for a few days until your body gets use to the water - water helps keep your metabolism up and also helps to flush the nasties out of your system....it is a crucial part of the plan. Good for you getting your water in today!!

Re: New and Introducing myself

20 pounds is a great start!! Keep it up! I started on Monday and I promised myself not to weight in until the two weeks, but I can report that my pants are looooooser
This is gonna rock hang in there.

Re: New and Introducing myself

Thank You Tracey....I did drink 4 glasses of water this morning...so that's a goal for me already!!! I havent lost any weight in the past few days and unfortunately for me the motivation is when the scale moves down...So I am hoping the water will help me there...Its really nice to know that people care, I thank you all and wish ALL the best of luck!!!!

Don't get discouraged, your body needs to catch up with that weight loss also. Congrats on that one cup, before you know it you'll be telling us its no big deal!

Re: New and Introducing myself

Melly - Great results already!

I drink water through a straw and at a bit over room temperature. Its easy to drink if its sitting in front of you and you grab and drink out of the straw.

Everyone has a trick to getting it in, find out what will work for you!

Congrats on your success so far!!

Re: New and Introducing myself

Thank You Chinadoll and Eama.. You have to excuse me I do no know how to use these boards very well.. however your both right about the water..I have been stalled on my weight loss now for almost 5 days and at my size I dont think I should be at a plateau yet...so I better get to drinking that water...but it seems that the more I drink the more bloated I get.. so I dont know.. always something.....

Re: New and Introducing myself

Hi Melly! I was the same way you are with water, but I'm getting used to it now. I'm on Day 23 - still in induction as well. We're even at similar weights with a similar starting weight.

Best of luck! Atkins rocks.
