Well today is my 6th day since I've been on this low carb diet and joined MFP. I am so proud of myself BUT so nervous ...tomorrow is weight in day for me and I'm excited but yet nervous too. I'm hoping for an 8lb loss since it's my first week...got my fingers crossed. I know next week it won't be as much as this week but I've got to hang in there.

    Don't be discouraged if the loss is less than you hope for. Weight loss isn't linear, and something as simple as having more sodium than usual might lead to water retention.

    I did the low carb diet when I was a lot younger and did good.Have put it all back on in last few years due to stress eating. Think I'm getting it under control again.

    That's a lot of weight to expect to lose, and dropping so much so fast might not be entirely healthy.

    I think that you can feel great about what you are doing even if you loss is 2 pounds.

    Would weighing every day make the process less nerve-wracking for you?

    Good luck to you. Carbs are my weakness.
