I have lost 9 lbs and I've been on Atkins since July 28th. Lost everything the first three weeks, then nothing. I have now been the same weight for 6 weeks. I did complain a lot in the start. This was supposed to go faster. Especially if you read all the success stories. But this is not a regular diet, it's a Way Of Eating (WOE). I have received a lot of good advise from so many people.
There is alot of us out here who has not lost for a while, I would not have managed if not for this forum.... I will stick to it and make it a way of life. Looking at the bright side: at least I'm not gaining

Please don't give up. Read the book, not once, but twice, and try again. If you find it hard at times, visit the forums for help and support. There's always somebody out there ready to help !
