Hi Again

[maeg]

I thought I would introduce myself, even though I have already posted in the induction forum. I have been induction for three weeks, and unlike most of you, I am not losing the weight all that easily. So far, it's been 5 pounds and 8 inches total, so it's not that drastic. But all things considered, it's still one heck of a shot in the arm!! I have a skirt that I bought weeks ago - It fits now!! I feel great, and even though the numbers aren't freefalling, I guess I am doing pretty well! The best thing is that I feel great! Thanks to everyone who replied to me earlier, it prompted me to reeveluate what I have accomlished do far.

Maeg...pick up a 5 pound bag of dog food next time you go to the store and you'll see just how awesome a 5# weight loss is. I celebrate EVERY pound and every inch with enthusiasm. You're doing great. And WHOOOPPPEEE on the skirt that now fits!! Thats what its all about!

We all lose at different speeds ... but the important thing is that if you follow the plan you will lose. Thanks for introducing yourself. Being involved here with others who are making the same journey is very motivational. Keep posting, make friends and keep us updated on your continued progress...we're all here for you! You can do it!

Thank you! Just knowing that I am not alone makes so much difference!

Hey there hon. 5lbs and 8 inches ... way to GOOOOOO!!!!! You are an individual my love and that's what is so great about Atkins. You keep working at it ... steadily and surely. You'll notice all those positive changes happening. Some lose it really quick and some lose it a bit slower ... but the scales do move down! And the old clothes start to fit. Please don't lose heart. Keep at it. Keep posting. luv to you.

Hey Maeg! Welcome to the board. Weight loss is a slow process, you didn't gain it overnight and you won't lose it overnight either! Slow, steady loss is what you want to keep it off for good! You can do it, we're here for ya!
