Atkins first timer

[IrishIrish]

Welcome Jon. Hope that you are doing well! There are some great examples of men doing Atkins here on the board. Among them is Richt and Kent along with many more. It won't be long before you are noticing success, as well! Best wishes!

Welcome Jon!
You are so lucky to have found this particular board! There's all kinds of wonderful support here! We are a huge loving family of losers! (giggle!)

If you are STRICT with your induction you will not ever regret it! It's only two weeks and you'll really find out what kind of metabolism you have if you do, what they call a "clean induction!"

I don't think I had that pooped feeling until almost a week into induction but I do remember being so thirsty that drinking the water wasn't a problem. I might have been salting my meat too much.

WELCOME JON YOU ARE DEFINITELY IN THE RIGHT PLACE. I TOO HAD TROUBLE WITH THE WATER INTAKE. BUT IF YOU GET A NICE BIG BOTTLE, KEEP IT NICE AND COLD AND DRINK FROM IT WHEN YOUR THIRSTY, YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Thanks again for all the advice and encouragement. I'm a week in and haven't been tempted to cheat, although I do miss fruit and sweet things. I don't miss caffeine which I thought I would, and I really haven't felt at all hungry. So far I've lost 8 lbs - is that what you would expect? I'll need some advice as to when to come off induction. I'm a teacher and off work for another 2 weeks so doing an extra week would be OK although it will be harder when I go back to school.

Jon
