Hey everyone, I was wondering how long it took you to see results. I am in the third day of my induction period and I was wondering how long you think it will be before i SEE some results? I know i have to have patience, but i am just so anxious and awaiting gettin lean its not even funny!

Hi there! Good luck on your induction phase, I know you will do great!

When I started, I could feel my stomach going down first! I was so excited. After about 3 days, it really felt smaller to me. After the first two weeks, my jeans, which I couldn't sit down and button at the same time, were fitting great again!

It won't take long!

I noticed the first day that the terrible heartburn I had been having for more than a year just went away. Then the rather nasty gas I had every afternoon just didn't show up. I knew then that this was the WOE for me.
The results show up very quickly. The water weight you lose on induction can make a big difference.
After that, it just gets better and better.
Congratulations.

im with patricia about the afternoon thing :x

i am on DAY THREE TOO!! yay! i already feel better.. i said "no more cute clothes til i lose 10 lbs last friday" well i haven't lost 10 lbs but i felt so good that i wore a halter top today. hehe

the only thing im scared of is being tired.. does anyone know why i am or what i can do to fix that.

maybe its bc i cant have coffee anymore

You will see weight drop on the 4th and 5th day.

You won't 'see' results until after the first 20lbs and that you'll see mostly in your face.

I didn't see changes in the way my body looked until 30lbs.

sometimes i still see that big person in the mirror and i just want to smack her rawrrrrrr

is it possible to have lost 1.25 lbs in the 1st two days of induction?

i put my before, during, and after pics in the gallery. yay!

Hi Word! Yup! It's very possible and probably more likely!

If you are tired, go back and read the part of the Atkins book re: induction. Since you are only on your first few days, lots of people experience different sensations, ranging from tiredness to caffiene withdrawal. Give it a few days and you most likely will feel a boost of energy.

thanks for the advice pugzley.. i get to sleep ALL DAY tomorrow i can't wait

Tcastro, I am so glad you said that. I was begining to wonder what was going on. I have lost 20lbs and aside from my wedding ring twirlin on my finger I could see no difference in my body, till I looked at my face one day. OMG I have only ONE chin!!!! ok my chin could not have weighed 20lbs but heck Ill take that. I am glad to hear that the rest starts to go down about now. I am just ready for that wooshhh!
