I recently started Atkins and lost 8 lbs. on Induction as well. Now I am on week 4. We baked chocolate chip cookies tonight for a family treat. We played lots of loud music and danced and sang as we baked. I enjoyed three cookies and considered it a vacation, not cheating. (Yeah, right, I was going to sit around and munch on some pork rinds with the aroma of cookies wafting through the air while my children all sat around me with little chocolate smiles...What a nightmare!!!) I know I'll be back on my diet tomorrow, so what's the big deal?

By the way, I started at 188, and bounced all around the scale during Induction until the last day of the second week. I've stayed at 179/180 since then. My clothes feel looser, and I feel better. Great diet! Why would I ever want to go back?
