I want to lose 5 pounds in a week - Been there done that!

I have been on the Atkins diet (full-go) since Monday. It's Thursday night and I sneaked a peek at the scale. To my amazement, I have lost 5 lbs!!! I know it's probably water weight because with any diet you usually lose water the first couple of days. However, this is a step forward and a big ego booster.

I was strict with my diet, eating only meat. I ate three meals a day. (That way I wouldn't feel deprived during the day.

I have been peeing a lot but that is good because I'm flushing the fat out. I was constipated for a little bit but I drank some sugar free orange flavored fiber powder and that seemed to help.

Overall, I have been feeling pretty good. I just need to get my behind to the gym and do some exercice.
