It finally happened

[KeyKey]

Many friends told me that I would loose my cravings and appetite as I got further into the atkins program. I never believed them. Considering I could clear a plate in 5.5 minutes and be done.

Well today I was at a restaurant with my sisiter Tracy (luvinit), and also a great supporter for me, and we ordered this very yummy salad. I COULD NOT FINISH THE PLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I felt full and I am finding more and more that I am not as hungry as I use to be. What a great feeling.

One more reason to keep on going

What a great feeling, huh, Kim?

That is one thing that I noticed within the first few days - the lack of hunger. Doesn't mean that I don't WANT to eat. But at least I am not CRAZY to eat!

Continued success to you Kim!

I have been doing atkins for 10 days as of today,Wednesday.

I have only lost 5 lbs.

I know I am in Ketosis so I am not panicing yet.

Look at it this way Kim- I have been on WW since 3/17 and I still don't have a 10 pound clippie- 5 pounds in 10 days is looking pretty good to me right now.

As of yesterday, I am now doing both-just to get my cravings and eating habits under control, and if it jump starts weight loss for me then all the better!!!! I only plan on being real strict with it for three weeks and then slowly adding more veggies at first and then a fruit.

I posted a journal on the WISH journal board if you want to follow this experiment!

keykey,

5 pounds in 10 days is GREAT! Please don't make the mistake of comparing yourself to others here. I did the same thing. I lost 8 pounds on induction and was very proud of myself...until people started chiming in with their 16 or 20 pound induction weight losses. It put me in a funk for a couple of days, but the WISH'ers pulled me through. You will lose weight at your pace, and as long as you keep going you will reach your goal. Maybe not as quickly as some other people, but you'll get there just the same.

You are doing wonderfully!

That is great news. I love when I am in ketosis, and I do not feel hungry. Keep it up, you have gone through the hard part, and it is pretty smooth sailing from here on in!!!! Great job sticking with it

I am proud of you sissy!!! You are doing GREAT!!! Hang in there...I know how crazy things can get...but JUST keep going. Just think how awesome you are going to look on Sept 20th in those pictures!!!

Just for the record....I had the SAME salad and ate the WHOLE THING!!! LOL (and it was GOOD TOO!!! LOL)
