@mediumfoot.com says... In article , says... When you all began this diet, when did you begin to see results physically? On the scale, I was down 2.5 lbs the very next day. I don't think I noticed any VISIBLE change for about a week, though, and then it was probably smaller fingers. Although I keep a log of my weight and a food diary, I don't really remember exactly how long it took to notice other changes. I Googling my asdlc posts and saw that on day 15 I posted that I noticed that my arm was lighter when I reached up to scratch my head and that my belly was starting to get squishy :-) I had lost 7 lbs the first week and was still only 7 lbs down at that time. -- Saffire 205/172/125 - 5'2.5" Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 |

I never forget all the cheaters and they are women. Then they always say how easy it is for a man to lose weight. Well, yeah, because I don't cheat all the time. It is amazing the amount of women that cheat and think they should still lose weight. It is just an observation in general. That doesn't mean that you or all women cheat, just quite a few of them seem to. I don't mean to upset anyone. Curt -- Started low carb May '03 211/186/185 . . 6'2" Highest weight 250 |

I wonder if your data can be extrapolated into relationship cheating.

Bodies with more muscle burn more calories even at rest. Add to that the whole TOM issue. I can doe the WOE to the letter without any cheats etc. and not lose an ounce, if it is the two weeks before my TOM. If those are the weeks you start a low-carb diet, it must be very frustrating. If you don't lose (or not as much) then, it has nothing to do with being "strict" or not, it is purely hormonal. Ina 213/161/154ish since 8/15/03, 5'8" www.skreee.de |

That doesn't mean that you or all women cheat, just quite a few of them seem to. Perhaps because most women have food on their mind more than men? For instance, in a relationship, the woman usually does all or most of the shopping and cooking, thinking all the while about menus and what her man wants to eat, variety, etc. (is that old fashioned or what?) The man just eats and then moves on, forgetting about food, while the woman is already planning for the next meal. IMO of course. Marsha/Ohio |

Others saw my loss in my face first- then in my belly. my arms and legs are
thinner- I had arm muscles like a truck driver which I'm now convinced were really briskets loaded with fat. After 23 pounds I see something new in the mirror, the bottom curve of my rib cage- I'm getting my curves back! yuppie! I'm still in my smaller jeans, but they are loose. It was a treat to get new underwear in a smaller size. I'm going to burn anything 2XX if no one wants them. -- Diane Atkins since 12/4/2003 234/212/150 5"8 "Saffire" wrote in message .. .

I guess that depends on your definition of "see". I could feel results by
the second day. My size 18's were bursting at the seams. I could get them buttoned in the morning, but being the carb addict I was by later afternoon I had to unbutton them just to get through the day. On the second day of phase 1 (SBD) I made it through the day with my pants buttoned. -- Melisa 203/171/140 @ 5'4" http://www.users.qwest.net/~ztimm/blog/ "curt" wrote in message ... Not sure how someone can see results from a diet right away? I usually see some results in a week or two. It depends on how big I was. When I was 250 it took longer to see results as far as appearance. The scale I saw big results though. I think many women take a little longer to see results. They are many times not as strict as men. Curt "miette" wrote in message .11... (*AmBeR*) wrote in om: When you all began this diet, when did you begin to see results physically?
