Snake oil?? 7.4 lbs in 2 days?

[SkinnyInMyHead]

Day 3 am... I get on the scale.. for grins and giggles.... I've lost 7.4 lbs??? in two days?? what trick is this?? LOL I know it's just water (cuz I've been up all night peeeeeeeeing) but I am now at 299.6 - so water or not I'm HAPPY. I haven't read the book yet... but will grab it this afternoon so I understand what the heck is happening...

So far, this thing is EASY.. and I'm NOT HUNGRY ALL THE TIME.. that's the most unbelievable part.. I am ALWAYS hungry - but not in the last two days!! Very weird but wonderful...

I want to lost 9.4 lbs by Christmas - that's 19 days.. seems possible to me..

(Note sure how y'all get all that fancy stuff at the bottom but I'll do the best I can)

It is not snake oil if it works now is it?
Great to hear about your progress. Gotta love Atkins.

As for the signature on the bottom. There is a section called User CP up on top on the blue strip. And in there you will find a section called "Edit Signature: (blue strip to the left). That is where you put all the stuff.
If you want a ticker there are some that you can make here. There is a thing called ticker on the top blue strip and there is another place called the Ticker factory.
Hope that helps some.

Congrats on your loss.

Be sure to read the book so you will know how to do this diet safely and properly. Over the years, I've seen some very scary ways people do "atkins" because they are doing it based on what a friend told them or based on what they read in a magazine article, etc. Seriously, I've seen everything from people only eating meat, eggs and cheese to people eating less than 1000 calories a day.

So read the book or at the very least read the FAQ section on the Board about the Rules of Induction and the Induction Acceptable Foods List.

Woot! That's awesome and congrats! You lose so much the first time you do induction, it's really great! I wouldn't be surprised if you met your goal after your first two weeks.

That is so great! I'm on induction now. Its not time for me to step on the scale yet but I hope I do really good.
