Congratulations that is a fantastic start you have made.

I am sure you are dancing with glee.

Keep on eating as you have been and more pounds should follow. If your weight briefly goes up, don't worry. Its your body adjusting to such a large change in such a short time. You will lose more pounds if you keep faith with this way of life.

Thanks Anne! Thats why I dont get on the scale often I try for every 2 weeks just had to know today. I wont see a return of those 20 pounds anytime soon! Last time on Atkins I lost 79 pounds and then flopped on my butt.....but this time Im here for good And with a start like that I can say Im no longer worried that it wont come off!
There will be ups and downs and Im ready for them all

Good for you and I am with you one the blood thing...LOL. Water or not it is puonds you do not have to carry around...Keep up the great job you are such an inspiration to me!!!

It's a Great Start & Great News ! Thanks for sparking the rest of us!

Thank you guys!!!
You guys made my day Thanks!!

~Hugs~ Trina

Can i join in on the dance too???

Trinia, keep up the good work. Once i started to loose weight, i had enough energy to start exercising on a daily basis. Between low carbing and exercising, the weight will start dropping off quicky. But as was mentioned earlier, we go through stalls and they can get discouraging. That is where i am at right now, but hopefully not for long.

My calculations were off a day hahaha Im on day 11 today hmmm maybe they were not off I dont know LOL

Thank you guys for being here and for the great responce. I am doing well and needed some rest but I'm okay now

You guys are wonderful thank you! ~Trina~

WOW!
amazing! be proud. be happy. be continuing what ever the heck you have been doing.
You are an inspiration to me.( and belive me, I need inspiration).

Jumping for joy for you.

Whatever it is, we'll take it.

OT: I did a cheat before I started Atkins. I have never done LC before and I wanted to see if it is a lot of water in the first 2 weeks. So, I took 2 strong dr. prescribed diuritics for 2 days and was in the bathroom a lot. Then started Induction. I lost 15 lbs. in the first 2 weeks. My dr. kind of shook his head at what I did, he is monitoring me. He said 2-3 lbs. is a lot of water weight for anyone. Please, don't do what I did. I wonder if it is water weight in someone who has to take diuritics on a daily basis? My weight loss has slowed down to a bit now, but still losing about 2 lbs a week. I have started to go in and out of ketosis and haven't changed what I eat. Odd.

Excellent news!!! Congratulations!!
