Finished First Week!
Today I finished my first week doing Atkins!
My starting weight was 226 pounds. Now I'm down to 222 pounds. I've lost 1" off my waist. 2" off of both my hips and chest. I never really exercised before starting Atkins but I have been able to pull off 6 days of exercise (treadmill and free-weights) in the last 7 days. I took today off from exercising and feel bad about it too. Amazingly enough I weighed 221 yesterday night, so I guess I better stick with the exercising. Unlike the books ideal, my cravings did not go away and my energy did not pick up until after the 5th day. Guess I was too much of a carb junky before. Do these figures seem typical with y'alls results for the first week? Thanks. and yes, I do know that the first few pounds of weight loss is water. |

Finished First Week!
Way to go David on finishing your 1st week ! your results sound great
to me.. and the fact that you've incorporated some exercise is fantastic ! Keep up the good work and that downward trend should hold true. Don't forget to drink plenty of water .. especially to recover after the exercise. They were very similar to my results... I did have the 3rd day headache though.. and I find my energy didnt get a big boost until around the 7th day. One thing I'd like to add here.. and you've probably heard it before.. please don't be discouraged if around the 3-4th week things tend to stall on the scale. It seems typical from what all I've read here on the group. Knowing about it before hand.. seems to make it easier to stay on track and get thru it. Of course.. as in all things with your body/diet and exercise.. YMMV. Looking forward to hearing many great things from you ~Karen~ On Wed, 24 Sep 2003 00:00:19 -0500, david21704 wrote: Today I finished my first week doing Atkins! My starting weight was 226 pounds.

And with terrific results too! You are really going for it with the exercise as well. I just finished my 4th week, and did stall abit around the 3rd week. However, since this is now my way of eating, each day I start anew and obsessing is not allowed! Keep up the good work! Jeano |
