5 pounds in one week

[lkmiller26]

Hi my name is Latosha and I read about the low carb diet while surfing the net. I came across the Atkins Diet April 1, 2002 and started it the next day which is April 2. So far, I have lost 5 pounds and 1 week. It seems to be working. What I like about it is i'm not starving and I love it.

Hi, Latosha! Welcome! :wave:

You're off to a terrific start. Five pounds in the first week is a great motivator. The rate of loss doesn't keep on at that pace, though, so don't be discouraged when you "only" lose a pound or two!!

Have you read the book, as well as what you learned on the net? It's a good idea to do so -- it answers a lot of questions you may not even know you have, and tells you what to do after Induction. For this to really work for permanent weight loss, it has to be a lifestyle change.

I hope you keep posting so we can keep track of your progress and watch you melt :)
