Today is day 5 of my induction in the Atkins diet. I have gone from 162 to 156 and my clothes already feel a bit better. I was just getting so uncomfortable in this summer heat with clothes that were all a bit too tight.

I love a low carb diet because, while I am good at strictly following rules (what to eat, what not to eat), I am NOT good at portion control. This diet is perfect because the portion control is losely regulated and because I'm just not hungry. I'm excited to see where I am a week from now. I know that I won't lose another 6 lbs next week, but another 3 would be great! :wave:

Welcome!

The "non-hunger" part is a blessing in low carb, isn't it?

Good luck! You're certainly doing great so far!

YOU CAN DO THIS!!

Think of it as a lifestyle not a diet and take one day at a time.

Stay focused & determined and you'll get 'er done!!

Keep swimming!
