Well done for starting. I started low carbing (Atkins induction) on Wednesday and ive just got weighed and i've lost 7lbs already. I know it's water but you get such a buzz when you see it has worked. I have eaten pounds of meat! Even a whole roasted chicken from Asda, it was good because the lady who bagged it for me marked it as roast potatoes instead of chicken so it only cost 98p. I didn't realise this until I had eaten it! :yum: it's quite frightening because we are so used to the low fat low cal way of eating. You are quite right we should all go by our clothes but pop on the scales now and then just to bring a smile to your face, when you may be wanting to cheat.
I wish you good luck and I hope the forum is helpful to you. You are not alone...
