I am in the 5th week of Atkins induction.... I started noticing a few days ago how soft and squishy my read end is... my belly also feels that way but not as much.... actually almost all of my skin feels so much softer now and clearer....My weight loss slowed down after the first 2 weeks but I lost 1 pound the 3rd week and 2 the 4th week so its not a stall...now its TOM and I have went up 1 pound and its depressing.... the guys are lucky not to have to deal with this kind of thing.
