Absolutely nothing, but I am on some heavy duty meds and in three and a half months I've lost 14.5lbs and my Doc says considering my health it's marvelous. I suppose I can't complain, but I was hoping for better. This week I dropped a pound. Every little bit helps

Well yesterday marked my first month on Atkins and I have lost 40 lbs. I can't believe it actually. I'm sure a lot of that was just water loss. I feel like I've only lost about 20 though.

40lbs! My goodness, that is just amazing!!

I lost 8kg - about 18 pounds. 7kg in my 3 week inductoin (did an extra week),then 1kg after that.

If you are asking to compare yourself / set goals rather then just curiosity, remember everybody is different and setting goals too high can just lead to failure that leads to becoming dissatisfied when you should be havppy with what you have achieved!!

You only have 20lbs to lose so you probly won't lose it all in a month!

I wish I had kept better records of my weight loss the first month but I belive it was close to 20. I do remember loosing the bulk of that the first two weeks though.

Holy cow. You guys lost fast.

I lost about 9 pounds in the first month, 5 in the first 10 days. Most people lose 1-2 pounds a week, according to another poll done here.

I started LCing at 146, lost 9 pounds during Induction, and nothing for the 2 weeks following. One more week later, and the weight started coming off again at the rate of 1-2 pounds a week.
