shocked on the scale
 
183 this morning. Had to double and triple check it to make sure I got the same thing. It seems as if I have now dropped about 7 pounds in the last week or so.

I was kind of hacked off, because I had been hovering around 190 for several weeks. I started taking the atkins basic 3 vitamins, and also the essential oils supplment. On top of that, I am now taking L-carnitine every day, and the CoQ10 product.

Atkins says at the back of his book that these things can help unlock a stall, and evidently it has kicked in for me bigtime.

moonbeam -- I live in Carrollton...... which part of Dallas are you in?

filmlass -- i was shocked myself. But if you read all the way towards the back of the Atkins book, he says that a deficiency in CoQ10 or L-carntitine, it can cause your weight loss to lock up.

These are Atkins brand vitamins (Basic 3, Dieters Advantage, Essential Oils, Accel, and a few others) that are supposed to be much better than say generic multivitamins. I get mine at GNC with the discount card during the frst 7 days of each month. I also try to use plenty of potassium salt (Salt Free, etc.)

That and plenty of water seem to really help with cravings and weight loss.

I take the ones I listed. Recently I have really tried to take them at least twice a day (the bottle says 3 times a day).
