Losing again - FINALLY!
For all of you out there getting discouraged, I wanted to tell you that after losing a lot early, then a period of slow losing, I went through more than a month and a half of nothing much happening. I was getting really bummed out, going back to old negative thoughts - "I can't do this, I'll never be thin, why even try, yadda yadda" - but this week, I'm suddenly back to losing a half pound a day. Yippee. And I didn't even do anything differently!
So anyway, it seems it's true about plateaus and the virtue of hanging in there. |
Are you still doing Induction...or have you moved up? Did you introduce any LC stuff and then eliminate them? H gained 1/2 lb this week but started eating an Adkins Indulgence Bar every night night. Those 3 carbs were at the expense of veggies and I told him I was afraid he would stall...or gain. I have had a few myself and didn't gain but didn't lose, either. The Atkins Breakfast Bar he has in the morning didn't seem to have any effect...he started those three weeks ago. I got lazy and switched from fresh chicken to frozen and added frozen hamburger patties (we hadn't been eating any hamburger) and I wonder if that made a difference as well. So...now we are back to the basics of our first week. Hope it helps.

Thanks for letting us know elaborate tricks aren't necessary to re-start weight loss. Sticking to it really IS the best medicine. Good job!
