:q: Hi guys I am currently on my 4th day of Atkins and I have been eating all the right foods and have used ketostix to see if I was in ketosis and I am light purple- dark everyday, However when I weigh myself I have only lost a pound is this a case for the whoosh fairy. I was just wondering how when it started registering on the scales for you guys

GIVE IT TIME AND DONT WEIGHT YOURSELF FOR A WEEK ;)
You will be in for a nice suprise!

i only lost 1lb a few days in but after 7 days i lost 14lb. I agree with jessperth, don't drive yourself crazy by weighing yourself everyday. Happy wooshing lol

As previously stated wait until at least day 7 and as long as you stick to your plan you should be in for a very nice surprise.

I noticed you have about 23 pounds in total to lose - many people lose between 5% and 10% of their hoped for loss in the first 14 days on induction. For you that would be between 1.15 and 2.3 pounds, so you are already doing well!!

Your body may be holding on to the water for some reason (time of the month is a big factor.) The initial big loss in the first week is mostly that....give your body time - it's doing fine if you are in ketosis. :D
