Can we just get a thread going with the day you started atkins, how much you have lost and how long it took you to stop craving sugar and carbs during induction.

I know we are all different but little thing like this motivates me and gives me hope. Thanks!!

I will start....

I started atkins on 060203...
I have lost 13 pounds and it took about 5 days to get over the sugar, and regular soda withdrawel...

Good Luck!!

thats a great idea!! I was looking for a similar thread and gave up!! Maybe we could start them!!

I would also suggest if it also diffrentiates about the total pounds to loose.

Thanks moonfairy!!!

Ok Kranti so what's your stats?

Started May 4th, 2003.
Lost 32.5 pounds to date.
Sugar craving gone about day 8.

Sugar craving note: Yesterday, I had my first taste of the sugar free chocolate bars. THEY gave me a terrible craving after I ate one. I could have eaten 3 or 4 easily. I (speaking only for me) would have sugar cravings all the time if I made sugar-free (but sugary tasting) treats a part of my way of eating.

i started atkins wol, on jan 1st,03 and so far i have lost 52lbs, it took me about 10 days for all the cravings to be gone but if i let sugar or high carbs creep back in my eating, then i have cravings again. but not as bad as the first 10days
i still have about 50lbs to loose to get to my goal.

I started Atkins on April 11,2003. It took about 4 days, if I remember right for the cavings to stop. I have lost 30# and 27". I also have about 115 lbs to go.

Rozleanne,

I started on 1st June 2003 and have lost 5 pounds till date. It took me 4 days to get over my sugar cravings and I haven't yet started excercising. I will start soon.

I like the Atkins bars but restrict to 1/2 a day.

I started somewhere around March 24 and have lost 40.5 lbs. I think it took almost the full two weeks before I really got the hang of things. I had one false start and then a week later started over (after dismissing what the trainer at the gym had to say about low carbing) and haven't looked back.

Started one week ago and have lost 7 pounds. I only have 20 total to loose though. I am doing the Atkins shakes, and really don't have bad cravings for anything.

Great thread!

began May 11, 2003. Have lost 13 lbs. Sugar/carb cravings were gone instantly for me.....Also, more importantly than the lbs. lost, I've lost 6 1/2 inches off of the five places I measure....

I started Atkins February 18th 2002. I lost 65 pounds in 8 months. I am still not where I want to be but the last 6 lbs are a bogger to loss. I am thinking that my body has found a weight it likes. I went from a size 18 to a size 8. I can live with that.

I started Atkins on March 1 and have lost 32.5 lbs.

My cravings disappeared quite quickly - in the first week. Psychological ones sometimes come back around TOM but my losses keep me motivated not to cheat.

Girl I know you can live with that!!! I am so happy for you. I am a 26/28 and want to be a 14/16. I hope I can get there really soon. I will be really happy then.


Congrats
