Just completed my first week on Atkins...

... and I lost 8 pounds!!! Holy Cow!!! I am so psyched! I decided to read the book after all of the great reviews people give Atkins on this board. I am following the plan to the letter and I cannot believe how well it works! Of course, I'm so sick of meat, eggs, and cheese that I could scream, but I know I only have another week till some new things are added into the rotation - I can deal!!!

Well, just had to share!

That is a great loss! You can try some of the recipes on the top of this board for a variation. I'm sure there is a lot of recipes that you can eat on induction that you may not have thought of.
I'm very happy for you! The book is very interesting.

I don't follow Atkins, but did want to throw a big "woo hoo!" your way. Great job! The more "cheat-free" you are, the better! Eight pounds is awesome. Be prepared for a slow down, okay? You won't lose that every week, but it sure is great incentive to keep going, eh?

You go girl! You can do this. One day at a time...

That's fantastic! Congratulations!

Be sure to be eating your full 3 cups of veggies a day too, on top of all that meat, eggs & cheese!!!

One more week of Induction - you can do it!

WOO HOO!!! Way to Go!!! Congratulations!!! Rhonda is right--don't forget your veggies!! OMG-I sounded like my father!!
Great job!!!

Thanks everyone! I have been eating my 3 cups per day of veggies- I have to - I am a veggie addict! Even the 3 cups hurts! I don't miss pasta and potatoes, just asparagus and brussel sprouts!

Anyway, I know that 8 pounds is a one time thing as far as a weekly weight loss goes, but it still feels good and also inspires me. Last night I took out some of my pre-baby clothes that have been hidden and I actually believe that I will be wearing them again!

Well, good luck to everyone else!
