Hi everyone - this is all very new to me. Former carb craver and I swore I always thought Atkins was "for the birds" After MUCH research I decided to give it a try.

I have been doing Induction for exactly 2 weeks today, walking 3 miles EVERY morning in under 40 mins. and I have NOT lost a single pound, nor have I lost ANY inches. My skirt is just as tight today as it was 2 weeks ago.

I have NOT cheated (I know you've heard that before) on anything "white" nor have I had anything sweet and forbidden. What's the deal?? No - I'm not going through menopause so no hormone therapy, etc. I am very discouraged. BUT, the kicker is... I have been in ketosis (some days in the very dark purple range) since about day 3.

I eat maybe 2 pcs. of bacon on my drive into work for b'fast, some chicken salad (homeade) or a spinach or field green salad w/ grilled chicken for lunch, pork rinds for a snack (if any) and grilled poultry or seafood for dinner. That's it.

So you veterans please help b/4 I give this up. I had no health problems, cholesterol or BP problems before. My last CBC came back awesome, so it's not health related.

BTW, thank you - hope I didn't whine too terribly much.
