exercise is a big part of this plan. Not only will it help you lose weight but weightlifting will sculp your body so you have all the right pieces where they look the best and belong. There are times on this plan when you won't lose, sometimes you'll lose a pound a week and then the next week you might lose 2 or 3. We recommend using a tape measure instead of the scales to see how much we are shrinking.
Welcome. Glad you found us and posted.

Welcome to !! You're doing really well so far...and it does get easier, trust me! This way of eating is so much more than the induction phase. The energy you get will definitely make it easier to exercise. Best of luck, and know we're all here for ya!

Welcome Christina. Glad to have you join us. Exercise is essential to working the Atkins plan. It not only tones your body, but it keeps you mentally and physically strong. I started out just walking for short distances and as I lost weight and started feeling more energetic....I included weights, swimming, aerobics and other exercises to my routine. After a while, I actually started to enjoy being active and the way it makes me feel after I work out.

BEST WISHES, you aren't alone. We are all here to support you and want to see you succeed!
