Hey BS (BigSmooth),

Congrats on those 11 lbs gone forever!!! What a great start you are having!

And, your diet plan looked solid to me.

I don't know how to improve what you're already obviously doing so well. Are you drinking lots of water and getting any exercise? I didn't see that mentioned.

Keep up the great work and you'll be at goal very soon. Finish those first 2 weeks and you're ready to move on to OWL, and I would definitely suggest doing that. It's not likely that your loss will continue so quickly until you reach your goal, and we've all had stalls along the way... so, if they do happen, don't get discouraged. You're building a good foundation during the induction days that will help you all of the way through to reaching and maintaining your goal.

I'll be looking forward to more success stories here! Good Job BS!!!

Thanks for the advice Jen. If I get a diet coke craving that I cannot control I will look for the splenda version. However i'm going to try to continue to be strong. It's not really a craving for diet coke, it's more of boredom of water lol.

Rick,
Thanks bro! That is my typical menu 90% of the time, I know I have to diversify or I will get bored....but so far so good. As far as working out, i'm walking 4-6 days a week.....with the dogs. And i've been to the gym twice in 11 days, i'll up it some more but I get frequent headaches on this diet.

I'm so happy for this diet. I've lost a lot of weight before, but with dangerous diet pills, NEVER AGAIN!!! I'm glad that Atkins diet has helped me achieve this mini goal so far w/o risking my health with diet pills.

BTW, My wife is on the diet as well and she's lost 9lbs so far. I guess we are giving each other the strength to do this.

Thanks!!!
