    22 pounds gone in 5 days. Is that even possible???

    OK I have tried Atkins before and always gave up after week 2. Not for lack of success but just lack of willpower I guess.
    I feel different this time not even thinking about the forbidden foods so I'm positive and excited.
    Anyway I started MOnday and today is day 5..using the same scale and scenerio ( morning, before eating, stark naked). The scale shows a 22 pound drop. I started at 311 Monday and today after steping on it over and over it says 289. What??!!! I was in Ketosis by the 2nd day.And for those wondering I am definatly eating. Today I had a cheese omelette and brkfst sausage for brkfst, lunch: will have salad with bacon and egg or a bunless burger, dinner: tacosalad.
    The most I've lost in induction before was 16 pounds.
    I am contempating getting a new scale but this one is only 4 months old.

    thoughts, sugggestions, could it be, has anyone else lost this much this soon?????

    It is definitely a lot of weight, but our bodies are strange, and I think it is possible to lose that much. Some of it is water weight, so maybe you are drinking a lot of water?

    I've lost around 8 pounds since I started induction on Monday. I can usually drop around 10-20 during induction.

    Keep up the good work! Stay with the plan, exercise, and enjoy!

      What a great start

      You may find your loss slows down over the next few days as your body gets over the shock so don't worry about it - just enjoy the ride
      Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

        After seeing the big numbers last week on Biggest Loser, I would say yes it is possible. Enjoy

          Thank you for responding guys. I am definatly excited. I keep telling myself this is it. The amount is awesome. I've been praying and just staing focused and have no plans od stopping. I am contemplating staying away from the scale until the end of induction because I will become obsessive about it. I was wonfering if anyone else has had such big numbers in induction in the first few days??

              Way to go on the 22 lbs lost!!
              I have lost 14 lbs in 6 days, I started over on 010309. I am disbelief also. But I did measure my hips again and I had lost over an inch in my hips alone. I am hoping that I can be back in my jeans by next week. I am drinking almost a gallon of water through the day along with reading my labels real good so I can stay away from all that extra added sugar.

              Keep up the good work!!!

                      This is my view on this during induction.. the higher your weight is, the more water your body has, thus the first week you may see a large drop of weight depending on how much water your body retains.. all in all, its a good thing << did I just sound like Martha? :S

                      anyway, best of luck on your journey ^_^

                              ive only successfully done induction once so far since the start dec and after that 14 days i lost 13lbs. so i think depending on how much you weigh how much you will lose during induction.

                              im on day 1 again today hopefully i will have a great lost during induction.
