OH MY GOODNESS!!!
Y'all, I weighed this morning. My husband and I just finished our first week of induction. He lost 9 pounds in one week and I lost 18 pounds in one week!!! 18 pounds??? Is that normal???

I know, I know. I should not expect to lose any this coming week, but I will STILL stick 100% to the Atkins program!!!!!

YIPPPPPEEEEE!!!

I have heard of that happening! That is great! I lost 10 pounds my first week. The heavier you are, too, the more weight you can expect to lose the first few weeks.

WOW....that is fantastic for both of you. I suppose you definitely can lose 18 lbs especially if you have a larger amount to lose (as I think you do by your stats). CONGRATULATIONS AND KEEP IT UP!

Hey,


its so refreshing to see someone start with so much success. you should start a journal or public fit-day so we can all see what you are doing so right!!!

keep it up, you guys are AWESOME

That is soooo wonderful! My hubby lost 18 lbs. the first week too so it does happen. Congratulations and way to go! Woo woo!

Congratulations!!

Could you post a sample day's menu so we can see how you did it?

Thanks and good luck to you!

Woo- Hoo! Mark that down in your journal, along with your starting measurement, please! Such a journal will help you when you have the inevitable plateaus.
Welcome to this WOL! and congrats on the great start!

Oh my gosh! You two are doing fantastic. Awesome!!



I only lost 2-3 pounds on Induction. Your weight will be pouring off.

CONGRATULATIONS - that is a fantastic loss, I lost 14 pounds in my first week and 5 the second, so keep up the great work

Sample day for me.....

Breakfast-
-2 scrambled eggs cooked in 1 T butter (I add water to the eggs)
-4 pieces bacon (yummy!!)
-1 cup decaf coffee with 1 oz cream

Lunch-
-5 oz grilled chicken covered with 2 oz cheddar cheese and 2 pieces bacon
-1 cup steamed broccoli with 1 T butter

Afternoon snack-
-1 cup cucumber slices to dip into 3 oz of softened cream cheese

(we usually don't have dinner, just afternoon and nighttime snacks)

Nighttime snack-
-2 deviled eggs (4 halves)

16 g carbs (3 g fiber)


I drink 128 oz of water each day. I think that is the BIG help for me. I also will sometimes drink a Diet Rite (tangerine or white grape) during the day. Occasionally I have Diet Coke still (I LOVE that stuff!!!!).


I'll tell you, if I can do this, anybody can!!!
