To weigh or not to weigh????

[slimjimgirl]

Hi everyone on this journey,

I have been doing atkins weeks now but have done one week so far of a clean induction.

I am soooo dying to weigh myself! Should i go for it or should i just wait incase i haven't lost too much. Also due TOM soon so not sure.

Hope your all doing well!

Love,

Annabel x

Annabel, totally up to you. Be sure to take your measurements too!!! And take some pictures of yourself to compare with in about six weeks. You'll be amazed!

If you have not weighed for weeks (and I applaud you on that!) and TOM is due. I would wait til after TOM. No sense upsetting yourself with the usual pre TOM weight gain.

I just don't understand how you can have a scale in your house and not weigh every day. Tee-hee!

Hi,

I have decided to wait. I think i'll just get upset if i haven't lost that much. My clothes feel loose but i must go and get a tape measure!

My scales were broken and i had to get new ones! ha ha ha. i'm not usually as good as this! I have some new ones that tell you your bmi etc.. very exciting! The only place i could have weighed myself was at the gym in front of the gym bunnies - felt too embarassed.

Thank you for your replies! It means so much to be in contact with fellow atkins dieters as everyone i know is funny about it - haven't read the book i imagine!

Love annabel - last time weighed - 12 stone 9.

This is my fourth day on induction, I have not cheated once, but I am sooo bad because I weigh myself everyday and I know it's not good to do that, but I feel that if I have a loss it will motivate me to stay on it. Unfortunately the scale has not moved for me, hopefully it will soon.

Hi there,

I will move for you soon i promise!

I did atkins years ago and lost 3 stone and it is a great eating plan when you get used to it.

Stick it there and try not to weigh for a week at least!

Love annabel x
