My weight (embarassed to admit) is too high for most scales, so I have no idea how much weight I've lost, but after two weeks of Atkins, I lost 3 inches on my waist. I'm about two more weeks in to the plan now, and from the start, I've now been able to tighten my belt two notches, and my clothes are starting to look really baggy...

It's a great feeling, isn't it?
