This is week two for me!

Hi Everyone,

This is my second week and I've lost 7 pounds so far. I've done Atkins before as well as many other diets, but never for the right reasons and always with a severe lack of will power and drive.

I started because I was tired. Tired of living in my "fat suit", tired of avoiding mirrors and tired of not wanting to be in pictures with my friends and family (especially my son) because I didn't want to see myself..."There's no minefield like presumption, there's no deathwish like denial."... so here I am.

I was just reading some of the success stories to motivate myself and I think I found what I needed. Thank you all for posting here and making things like this available for my moments of weakness.

7 down, 33 to go.. Happy and healthy here I come!

Congratulations for the 7 lbs!

Have a great time on the board!

Thats awesome. Now, don't be disappointed if your weight loss doesn't keep going down as dramatically, it will keep going down but not as fast.

well done on your excellent result! i'm on day 7 of induction, day 3 and 4 were really tough! i made it through, feeling better, ketostix show light pink, but get hungry mid afternoon which can be a sturggle - haven't cheated so far tho! i have 10-15lbs to lose just wondering how other people managed on induction? how long did it take to feel like weight had been lost and how can i curb my cheese addiction?? i have the 4oz per day but crave more!!
