  1. I've noticed that, since I started doing Atkins, I'm much more aware of even
    small changes in my body. In 1999, I lost 64 lbs on the Atkins woe, and was
    so in tune with my body that, if I cheated and ate a small order of
    McDonald's fries, I knew it would "cost" me a gain of exactly 3 lbs...every
    single time. The way some people can recite from memory the carb counts of
    various foods, I could predict with almost uncanny accuracy how much weight
    a given food would cause me to gain.

    It's been a while since I paid close attention, though, and really listened
    to my body. If I had kept listening, I wouldn't be in the predicament of
    having to start Induction again now.

    I'll be honest, I used to weigh myself all the time. Like every day
    for a while. I now don't weigh myself much at all. I roll out of
    bed in the morning and look at my naked self in the mirror. Well
    sometimes I have underwear on, and can guess how much I weigh within
    a pound.

    Hi Curt,
    I play a little guessing game with myself before I fall asleep now. I try
    and guess what my weight will be in the morning - I find that I too am
    getting pretty accurate at predicting these things. I figure though,
    thats because we know our patterns and whatnot since we weigh or used to
    weigh daily, whereas others who only weigh once a week or so, may not be
    able to really predict whats going on with their weight as we do.

  2. couple of times a day - usually twice a day, mainly to know how much my clothes
    and shoes weight...

    well, actually I do is so that I kind of get an idea of how much I weight on
    average.

    How often do most of you weigh yourselves? I know that weight can fluctuate
    daily (especially for women due to changes in hormone levels, etc.) and that
    can be nerve-racking for some people, but I find it works as motivation for
    me even when there's a slight gain. What about the rest of you?

  3. I weigh daily, but have learned that "gains" are going to happen at
    certain times of the month, and I just deal with it.
