I'm depressed. I gained 1 pound. Thus, I've lost 1/2 pound in 3 weeks . Yes, I eat the Atkin bars, but I keep my calories at 2000 or under, my total carbs are 20, plus I exercise on a regular. Maybe some is water weight. Also, some pants that were getting tight fit much better. I'll keep on going. Maybe next week I'll have a swoosh.
