I cannot believe I found this in the DIS section. I have been on the Atkins Diet for 5 plus weeks now, it will be 6 on Monday, Sept. 15th. My husband and I have been adding pounds from going on cruises and not taking it off over the last 5 years.
So we decided to do the Atkins since he loves meat and I think we are doing well.
I wanted a place to put my weight loss, I wish I had the rapid weight loss like my husband has and others here I see listed but this is how it goes!
1st week, only 4 pounds
2nd week, 3 pounds
3rd week, 3 pounds
4th week, 0 and I did not cheat!
5th week, I decided to do the FAT FAST and I have lost 3 pounds as of today, so a total of 13 as of today.
Started at 191/187/184/181/181/178 and I still have till Monday morning to weigh for the week.
I have really enjoyed reading your journals and find encouragement from all of you. I hope I can do the same for others. I had lost as much as 88 pounds 6 years ago and felt wonderful, just cutting back and doing step aerobics, but over the years half has been put back on, and I thought, ok, don't let it get THAT unmanageable again. So I am doing my step aerobics every other day and walking the others usually 3 miles.
I will go back to the induction after this FAT FAST week and slowly add some carbs back. My husband has been doing fantastic but itsn't that the way men loose! Its nice to have him eating the things with me though, so no temptation there.
We have a Disney Vacation coming up in November and we both want to shed these much hated pounds!
Good luck and good wishes:
Carol
