Hi everyone,
I started atkins 2 1/2 weeks ago and lost 10 pounds so far. seem to be at a stalemate this last few days. I exercise, and stick to 20 carbs daily. I just bought psyllium to help..heavens knows I need it at this point. I have reflux disease so I seem to react by bloating with everything I eat. I am not going to let myself get discouraged with the absence of weight loss lately. I keep visualizing me in the summer, looking and feeling great at my old weight. I am looking forward to the support offered here. It is a wonderful site.
Cheers. Laurie

Hi Laurie!!
Welcome to the board...This forum has been so helpful to me since beginning Atkins..You have come to the right place..
I too have a history of reflux..At one point it was pretty severe...Coincidentally, since I began low-carbing, the problem seems to have disappeared...I haven't even had mild heartburn, and well, its not like I'm not eating anything...It leads me to believe that carb intake had a lot to do with it, at least in my case..
Hey, it looks like your doing!!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!!

Don't just check your weight............check those inches too! You might be pleasantly surprised.
