Hi Dizzy
Thought I would report on the weigh in. Down 3.9 lbs. I need to stop complaining. It took long enough though cause I didn't see a loss for over two weeks. Perhaps this is a lesson to just hang in there. I'm set on it. I've never been a thin person so I can't wait to see what its like.

I hope I can report the same kind of news on Monday, lol. I feel SOOOOOOOOOOOO bloated today! OMG, I feel like all the weight I've lost is back, lol. And I would weigh myself today, but I know better than to do that.... the scale is really controlling over me Does anyone else ever have days/weeks where you feel like sooo fat and like all your hard work is for nothing? Or is it just me? Lol maybe I'm just a weirdo..... But I always keep on truckin' ![]() |

Hi Dizzy
Thanks for the congrats. Your day will come soon. I HATE my scale.
I'm too reliant on it to make me feel good from day to day and when it tells me I'm up a couple of lbs, I feel horrible. You are wise not to weigh in until Monday. I hope when I do on Tuesday, I have another good report. But as usual, my scale at home says NOT! Yes, I have those bloaty days. Ugh. I'm old enough that I get swollen ankles. Gross, huh. Anyway, then when the bloating decides to leave me I have to go to the bathroom every hour. I have to walk by the receptionist at work to go and I think she thinks I have a problem or I'm crazy or something. Oh well. Good luck on Monday. ![]()

Hi Dreamcomtru
Hey girl,thanks for the post for the past like 3 consecutive days I have been feeling like a pregnant cow or something, lol. The bloating finally decreased a little bit today, lol. I think i'm going to drink some green tea over the weekend to help flush out all this water! I wish you the best of luck on Tuesday! I'm dreading weighing in because of my TOM.... Lol. Have a good weekend![]() |

Green Tea and Daikon Radish
I've heard that both of these things are metabolism movers. Could be a myth though. I looked up daikon on line and a couple of sites do say it is helpful to speed metabolism. My husband got on a green tea kick a couple of years back when he heard the same thing on about it on some documentary TV show.

Well, I guess we learn something new every day. My co-worker has given me a few bottles and I love them. I did notice the other day when I drank one, that I kept making potty trips. She was laughing at me, and said the tea wasn't making her pee. So, with that said, I will purchase some Diet Lipton Citrus Green Tea.

Hi, as a newbie to this forum, I thought i would just jump in and share. I have been on induction for 4 weeks and have not lost any weight. My background is that I have done ATkins before, a few years ago with great success. This time it seems to be going a bit differantly. I weigh 145 lbs. and am 5'6". I realize that it sounds as though I really do not need to lose a lot of weight, but I am aware of excess fat I want GONE..LOL Anyway, so I am really following the diet closely. I exercise extensively, take my vitamins, get aequate rest and still zero results. So I have remained patient and am still plugging away and just hoping for results. My clothes fit the same so I do not feel as though I am losing inches.
I am consuming coconut oil 3 times a day in order to maximize my metabolism. OH yeah, and I forgot to mention, I quit smoking about 6 weeks ago. I fear this has affected my metabo...... So, I was wondering if anybody had advice??? Is this WOE not right for me??? (I hope that is not the case) Should I stick it out??? I would appreciate ANY input as I am soo discouraged!!! Thanks in advance!!!!!!!! |

If you want to tell us exactly what you're eating, that would help.
Are you getting 12-15 net carbs a day from vegetables? Are you drinking a minimum of 64 ounces of water? I imagine you don't have that many pounds to lose, so it will be slower for you. |

Hey guys.... I only lost like close to a pound last week...
I felt so dissapointed! But I did have the flu and I was eating sugar free cough drops... like three bags thru out the week, lol. I'm thinking that maybe that had something to do with it.... What do you guys think? |

I just started Atkins on 01/29/2007. I have lost ZERO. I eat lots broccoli, eggs, chicken and venison. I do have coffee a couple times a week no cream and Splenda. I was putting crystal light in my water to help me drink enough, but now I found out that was BAD??? What else am I doing wrong. I just can't believe that crystal light alone completely stops my weight loss. HELP!!!

Hi I'm new to this, this is my first post. Audrey, you may want to incorporate more lettuce, and drink more water, 8 oz for every 25lbs you want to get rid of. My husband was having a problem losing too, but we increased his carbs to 25 for a day and he lost four pounds. I hope this helps some. You may also want to add heavy cram and or cheese to your diet. Only 12-15 carbs of the 20 should come from veggies.

I eat baby spinach instead of regular lettuce so I can get more vitamins, and I was drinking lots of water. It has slowed since I stopped using flavors (crystal light on the go packets). I am going to do induction for one more week to give it a good effort, but if nothing happens after that I think I am done.

I have been Low barbing it for two weeks and not cheating at all, and the scale only says 3 lbs
I only count weight on Mondays, and maybe it because my monthly friends is just a week aways but iits going to be depressing if I have low carbed for the stick all show pinkish / purple and I just looose 3 lbs in over 2 weeks :-( I am a little depressed this morning. Tomorrow I will weigh in and post that as my new weight and check my mesurements as well. |

If you want to post exactly what you're eating, we can take a look.
Are you eating a minimum of 12-15 net carbs from vegetables every day? Are you drinking a minimum of 64 oz of water every day? |

If the whipped cream you're having is coming out of a can, and it's sweetened with sugar (maybe it's RediWhip?)... it's NOT Atkins friendly. If you can't get the Land o Lakes sweetened with Splenda, then buy heavy cream and whip it yourself. Also, you may simply be not eating enough food. I don't think you're eating enough vegetables for sure. Are you getting a minimum of 64 ounces of water??? You might want to get rid of the jello... it's not "real" food and one of the points of Induction is to break your addiction to sweets.
