You have guts for posting this photo, you have a nice shape! I wish I looked like that in a bikini and I'm 166 pounds! Good for you and ignore people's mean comments. If you have nothing nice to say....

ALCIDE!!!!!!!!!!

Don't feel so bad, I gained 1.5 pounds before weigh in due to my cruddy eating the weekend before.

Weigh in! July 23 : 169.5 July 30: 167 August 6: 2.5 pounds loss in 1 week.

I thought I would lose the 15 pounds in 2 weeks on Atkins (and I know it depends on how much you have to lose, water weight etc.) I do walks daily and do not log them because I don't feel they're an adequate burn and if I see the increase in calories I used to overeat and eat back my exercise calories. When I work out hard…

Feel free to add me, I'm trying Atkins and have an open diary.

I've lost 7.5 pounds since starting Atkins on 6/25. I didn't lose it all in one day. So for 4 weeks total I've lost 7.5 pounds. Do I know how many pounds I've lost every week or everyday...NO. What I know is since starting Atkins on 6/25 until yesterday (when I weighed in) I was at a loss of 7.5 pounds. 4 weeks, 7.5…

Thank you very much for your help. I told myself that no matter what I would be honest on my diary even if I slipped but I've got to kick myself in the butt and stop cheating. I have 28-30 more pounds I want OFF before October so I HAVE to be strict. Thanks again!

If you go further back in my diary I stayed below 20 carbs but this past weekend I gave into temptation, sick and tired of avoiding carbs and not getting anywhere.

sure! I'll open.

I'm down 2 inches on my waist so inch-wise I've lost. I have to say that I avoided exercise since induction, just walking on occasion. I will have to up my walks and workouts. I just find it amazing that I've drestically changed my eating habits and am not drastically losing weight! It's frustrating. :explode:

I'm 5'5 goal is 140 by October (hopefully sooner) Hopefully by labor day I'm at 155! July 23 SW: 169.5

Just read this! Looks amazing!!

awesome!!!! I'm in!:drinker:

I would like that!

I totally agree! This group is not as supportive as I would have hoped.

You're supposed to stay under 20 net carbs, of the 20 anywhere from 12-15 should be vegetables.

Thanks for the tips. I have about 20 - 30 more pounds to lose before I would consider myself "thin" I see thinner legs and arms but I can't stand to see chub and the loose skin. I want to tone before I wear more revealing clothes.

I started induction one week ago. I have not gone past 25 g carbs per day, my SW was 175, I'm currently at 171. That's 4 pounds in 1 week! I'm very satisfied with the results. I've limited my exercise last week and this week will start my 30-40 minute, 4 days this week excercise routine.

I completely agree, fresh is best. But unfortunately working full time with two small kids at home I don't always have the time. I just thought the shakes would be a good alternative.

great! Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for the response! I'll avoid during phase 1. :flowerforyou:

Great question and helpful feedback. I just started Atkins on Monday 6/25 and I felt a little lightheaded but I felt full the entire day. My biggest challenge is filling in veggies for almost every meal. I am eating a lot of protein but minimal veggies. Good luck if you choose this option!

Good for you!

I think this site is about motivation and not judgement. I appreciate the people who have the confidence to show their progress, it's inspiring, good for them!

I've lost 1 lb per week even though I was originally set to lose 2 lbs per week, it didn't happen. I feel like I'm behind. :indifferent:

ok, ok - don't be sarcastic on this motivational site. I meant a week not a day. Thanks for reminding me why I rarely respond on these forums.

I'm glad you posted this, I feel the same way - working out 4-5 times a day and taking in 1200-1300 calories a day and i've only lost 7 pounds in 2 months, which is less then what MFP projected. I started taking Safslim to up my results.

I am the same, I lost 7 pounds in the first month and haven't lost anything else since. I'm also on 1200 calories a day, it's quite frustrating!

I am in need of more friends also. Feel free to add me! I am on this site all the time.
