Default Can I really lose this much?

Hello, I have beeon atkins for about 7 days and 3 of those I cheated and quit during the evening, but I have been cheat free for 4 days now and I check my weight for the first time and it says I lost 17 lbs! is that even possible?? i know i started at 225 now the scale says 208, I did not believe it so I drove to my sisters house and use her scale haha and it says 18 lbs! lol I think I will stick with the medium of 17. I know I wear a 2x shirts and today I wore an XL shirt given to me by my gym and it is loose, I am so happy

It actually IS possible. Keep in mind that the majority of those pounds lost were water weight. Evidently, you carried quite a bit of it. Either way, it's gone and took some fat pounds with it. Congrats to you and flaunt it!
