I have been on the Atkins induction one week, and so far have lost 4 pounds. I am back to my pre-vacation weight of 176. My goal is to lose a total of 44 pounds by November 1st. On top of using Atkins, I have begun exercising one hour a day. Even though I've lost the 4 pounds, I am scared that I won't continue to lose weight. I guess the old familiar 176 is making me think this might be the end of the dieting road for me. I have a week to prove myself wrong.

Don't give up! You can do it! You're off to a good start so just keep moving forward, and don't get hung up on the numbers. Best of luck to you!

Two more pounds have left me! I have overcome the 176lbs. barrier! I am encouraged everyday to stay on Atkins through the checking of my ketone output. For everyone out there on Atkins, keep it up, so far it's working for me.

Keep it up!

Keep it up you can do it. Just think of the how much healthier you will feel exercising and losing the extra weight!
