need help!!!! quick please!!!

ok, i have been doing atkins for 5 days and i lost A LOT of weight. my problem with this diet is that i am so dizzy and my whole body feels shaky. i love how much weight i lost but i cant go through this everyday. what other diets are really good, that you lose a lot of weight on. i need to start it quick because i dont want to gain the weight back that i lost on atkins.

Re: need help!!!! quick please!!!

Depends on your plan, when you join, that kind of thing. I joined when I didn't have to pay a registration fee, and I pay $9.95/week.

You can also do WW online for $12.95 a month, I think.

Go to their website, it explains the options. I REALLY love the meetings though - they really keep me motivated.

Re: need help!!!! quick please!!!

thank you, i think thats what i'm going to do. how fast does the weight come off. i want to lose 20 lbs.

Re: need help!!!! quick please!!!

It comes off about 1-2 pounds a week. In all honesty, that's the healthiest rate to go at. You don't want to loose it TOO fast or else you risk gaining it back the moment you go back to your regular habits. I have lost 27 pounds since the beginning of October.
