Day 5 of Induction!!!
Hello there I'm married with two beautiful boys ages 7 and 2, I am very excited about getting down to my goal weight, and getting back into my clothes that I have placed way in the back of the closet. So far I have been on the Atkins diet for 5 days and have lost 6 pounds, I am very excited and I can already tell a difference in my pants a little...that is just giving me more motivation to move forward and continue to strive to reach my goal. I am happy to see that other people on here that were just like me starting off and have met or are close to meeting their goals.

Re: Day 5 of Induction!!!
Hi and welcome --
Post often, ask questions join some of the challenges - the more you use the forum the more you'll get out of it.
Before you started I hope you:
*took your measurements and got on the scale so you have accurate numbers to start with - (it's best not to weigh again until the end of your 2 week induction).
*Eat a variety of meats, cheeses and vegetables. Also make sure you get your fats, carbs and protein in daily – www.fitday.com will help you keep track of this.
*Drink 64 ounces of pure water -nothing added daily (Legal water is considered Filtered water, Mineral water, Spring water and Tap water).
*Take your supplements and start an exercise routine today.
The recipe sites are a helpful meal planning tool – just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with.

Re: Day 5 of Induction!!!
Hello,
Welcome to the ADBB!
6 pounds in 5 days is great, its feels good when you see the pounds decreasing on the scales. Stick to the plan, drink plenty of water add a little exercise and you will get to your goal. Did you take measurments before you started? The inches will sometimes melt away when the scales dont budge!
