Hi my name is Mary and I started Atkins on Monday 2/2/04. Today is friday and so far I've already lost 5.5lbs. I im in shock. I can't believe that it comes off so easy. I've been very good about eating foods very low in carbs..2 or less. I really don't feel too deprived because I am getting to eat cheese and meat and chili..my favorite. I have noticed though that I get very sluggish by about 3pm. Anyone else experience this? Nice to meet you all!!!

p.s. my stats should read 215/209.5/175..I don't know how to change them.

Hi and welcome! :wave:

The first week or so, you're going through a lot of changes, so I'm sure the sluggishness is part of that. It will probably ease up. :thup:

Hey Mary,
Welcome! I know what you mean about the quick weight loss. It is so great. Although I don't expect it to last 4eva, it is pretty exciting for the moment eh?
Good Luck!

I've been LCing for 15 days and I remember the first 3 or 4 days I was always tired around 3pm but it gets better. So I think it's normal. Soon you'll feel like you have energy to burn. Esp in the mornings -- at least for me.
