Hello all. After struggling with Weight Watchers for more than a year, my DH has become frustrated. He needs to see big results to stay motivated. So, we did a lot of reading about Atkins, and started it on Monday Nov. 10th. I am doing it with him for support. He'd like to lose about 35 lbs, while I have a pesky 7 lbs that has refused to go away with my regular WW diet.

So, here we are in Day 4. The first two days were awful.. I felt so sick and headachey. But then on the end of the second day, I started to feel better. And this morning, we weighed ourselves for fun, and found we have already both lost 5 lbs!! WOW!

I admit, I'm pretty amazed. Speechless, almost. It's very counter-intuitive for me to eat a big greasy cheeseburger and think I'm not going to gain a ton. I'm still getting used to the idea. It's like someone telling you up is now down.

Congradulations!

I hear that men loose weight much faster on low carb than women do so your husband should get the results he's looking for quite easily.

Okay, call me the Newbie Grand Champion but please someone tell me what a DH is.

I keep thinking this is Major League Baseball and everyone has a Designated Hitter!

I need a Designated Runner, my feet hurt....
