Hello all,

I'm new to the forum and relatively new to the Atkins plan. I started March 1 (two months ago) and have lost 23 lbs so far. It seems to me that I should have more gone by now but it goes quite slowly. However, I notice that my body shape and size is diminishing disproportionately with my weight loss. I was over 20 lbs lighter than I currently am on WW a few years ago and I can wear the clothes now that fit me then.

Can anyone tell me if you find this to be a normal function? Also, any tips on jump starting the wieght loss would be much appreciated.

Hi Denning and welcome!!
You will find a great amount of support and information here.
Here's to a thinner us!

Welcome!

Yes, that is normal. You are gaining muscle mass which will slow the the scale down, but you are still smaller. I am actually in some pairs of 8's which I couldn't fit into at this weight before.

Welcome & congrats on your loss so far; you're off to a great start! Lots of us find even when the scale isn't showing a loss we're losing inches, so bonus you're seeing a loss of inches & pounds. As far as jump starting your weight loss, it seems you've already done that so you just need to be patient & stick with it. Make sure you're getting at least 64oz of water daily, taking a good multi-vitamin, exercising, & counting carbs & you'll do fine! Should you have any problems or questions, this forum is full of support & advice. Good luck!
God Bless,
Amy-Lynne
