I am in my 3rd week and things are going okay I think.. For weightloss week 1 was 6 pounds, week 2 was 2 pounds and week 3 so far (I measure from Monday to Monday) is 1 pound...

I have recently got married and have not done exercise in some time (and work at a desk) and I did no excercise week 1, week 2 I decided to dig out the running shoes (used to do a lot of running) and start up and have been exercising 4 days a week the last week and a half..

Now the weightloss slow down was really getting me down until I re-read a bit of the Atkins book where he emphasised measuring yourself over weighing yourself and this have cheered me up no end becasue dispite only losing 3 pounds in the last week and a half I have lost an inch off my thighs and an inch and a half off my waisted (thats the relaxed waist, no sucking the gut in to measure.. ).. And my belt has been tightened a notch.. And in the end, if I end up skinny and toned I really don't care what weight I am...

The lesson is don't just measure your weight..
