doing it again
 

Hi folks!
I have started Atkins for my 4th time. I began last monday, so today is my official second week of induction. I am down 10 lbs, and am feeling darn good. My challenge is eating enough food, and getting my water in, so I'm working on that. I am reminding myself that easy fast food isn't worth screwing up the work I'm putting in.
SO I just thought I'd say HI!
Have a greatt day
TQ

Hello TQ,

This is my second week of induction as well. I only lost 3 lbs. the first week. So, I am wondering if I am doing something wrong. I thought I would have lost more. However, I will take the loss. Good luck to you.

Hi Dionne,
3 lbs is nothing to shake a stick at! Great job! I have way more to lose than you so that helps. There is also the concept that what you lose in the first 2 weeks is 10% of what your total weight loss can be....but I'm not sure about that if I end up losing 16lbs...lol
The thing I did differently this time (because it was available) was use the menus from the atkins.com website. I will continue to do that this week....good luck to you too!
TQ

Thanks Jerseygirl. It's been a while since I read the book, so that 10% thing was fuzzy.

So if you don't lost the 10% in those 1st 2 weeks does it mean that something was done wrong? or that the person may be one of those slow losers? or something else?
