Quick Question
I will have completed my first two weeks of Atkins. I have lost ten pounds.
Does this sound average to everyone? I met a guy once where I worked and he told me he lost 30 pounds in two weeks, I didin't expect this for myself, but I just want to know if ten sounds right. Thanks |

Have you noticed any other positive side effects aside from the weight loss? There is a wide range of numbers that sound "right". How much you lose depends on: Are you male or female? males typically lose more How much weight do you need to lose? the more you have to lose, the more you will lose during your initial two weeks The other thing it depends on is your level of resistence. The Atkins book has a chart that asks how much you lost during the 2 week induction, and you find what describes you and your age, and see how resistent you are. The more you lost, typically the more carbs you will eventually be able to eat and still lose weight. You are planning to move on to Ongoing Weight Loss now, right? -- Spring LC since 1/1/04 260/193/170 "Before" & "current" pics at link below: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sprgsnow/my_photos |

About 7 lbs of water and 2-3 lbs of fat, probably. -- Saffire 205/137/125 Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 |
And of course how much one loses in the first 3 weeks has a lot to do
with how overweight one is to begin with. Someone 20 lbs overweight will rarely lose as much as someone who is 200 lbs overweight. |
10 lbs is great!
30 I don't believe. For men maybe 16. For a woman 10 is great!
