Ok - so today was weigh day - I am down 3 pounds. At first I was a little disappointed since I have been exercising twice a day and staying under 20 carbs per day. However, I decided to check my measurements, and I have lost a little over an inch on my waist, and an inch on my thighs which is amazing. I am hoping it keeps me motivated through another week.

you have to stick to the food list only for 2 weeks and then try and see if you can incorporate a shake or bar in once in a while. You willhave greater results (most likely) Good luck and keep us posted

Way to go MsChris! I've been thinking that I should check my measurements too. exercising twice a day? Now thats commitment! I do the treadmill but I really need to incorporate some kind of strength training at this point. I'm a bit to flabby!

Tamika - SOmeone gave me that same advice that I just gave you when I was at a stall for a month! I also added in the bars at that same time. once I heard that and Istopped the bars, the weight started dropping again. At this point i think you're still doing induction right? try to breakfree from all snack for now. I have done well on induction and have kept to it (more or less) .Iwould say give it 2-3 weeks.

WTG MsChris on the 3 lb.s and the inch lost. Great job.

I have never seen the Atkins bars or shakes in the area where I live. I guess now I'm glad that they weren't available for me.
