    Day 5 and only down .1 but hey a loss is a loss. I did a lot of weights yesterday and I could be holding onto some water in my muscles. It's a total of 4.5 lbs in less than a week so I'm not complaining.

    How many calories is everyone eating? Or are you even counting calories? New to Atkins! :)

    nope dont count calories, I have lost 65 pounds in a little over 3 months and have not counted a single calorie yet. I often laugh because I know if i did count the calories I was eating on Atkins the weight loss would seem impossible ( the calories are high), but atkins used to refer to this as the metobolic advantage

    I lost 4.4 pounds this past week and this morning I had gained 2 lbs. Yesterday when I was cooking dinner I starting sampling in order to insure the food tasted good. A few tbsp of candy yams later I ended up eating rice and red wine etc. Once I got a my first taste of sugar in a week my cravings for it came back and I had them today as well. Tomorrow is another day, so I am getting back on track. Good luck everyone.

    Thanks. I am going to start again tomorrow. I have to admit it was very nice to no longer have cravings for carbs. It makes it a lot easier to say no to them if you don't have a taste for them. That benefit alone makes it worth trying the Atkin's diet.

    that is exactly right, its those foods that got us into the trouble we are in now, learn to just do without them all together, eat when your hungry, just eat what is allowed on atkins, and you will drop weight, and feel great, without starving yourself to get there

    So far, so good. Although I'm upping my fat a hair, I've still got quite the appetite. I think it's just because I've eaten the 6 meals a day style for so long, my body has grown accustomed to eating every so often. But, sticking to it.

    I just bought a digital scale so that I can see a more accurate reading of the weight loss. I haven't seen anything significant since I got the scale..

    Hello from London, UK. I started Atkins on Monday August 19, and wish I'd done it years ago. I am not a daily weigher but already some of my trousers feel looser, I know I'm in ketosis (got Ketostix from eBay) and I'm loving the food! First weigh will be Monday August 26 :)

    With you guys all the way to Sept 1st and beyond!
