Smile still going, and going.. and going..

I've heard that people that need to lose more seem to notice more loss faster than those who are closer to home that are trying to lose a little. (hehe) I was a little let down my first week in Atkins. 6lbs off but I wanted 10. I'm so greedy.. hehe. Then come week 2 (day 14), I weighed in again.. still 6lbs! ack! When I dug the tape out, I noticed a 3" loss across the tummy! yeah! So it's not all about weight. It's about size too.

If you're athletic or leaning that way, consider muscle mass. When you put on muscle, it weighs more than fat but takes up less room. So you're weight may actually show more, when you're losing fat and buring calories more efficiently. I recommend more water too. It's something I need to work on myself.

Good luck!

P.s. you mentioned feeling crappy - this is common in week 1 of Atkins. It's your body protesting for junk food! Mine went away in week 2.
