1) Are you keeping track of EVERYTHING you eat on fitday.com? This will help you count your carbs and calories.

2) Are you eating 10-12x your body weight in calories?

3) Are you drinking at least 100 oz. of water/ day?

4) Remember, if you're not exercising, you're not doing Atkins.

5) Do not compare your husband's loss with your loss....men are different in their rate of loss. Period.

6) STICK WITH THE PROGRAM and do not reduce your calories during this slow period! Give your body time to adjust to this new way of eating. It's very common to go through a little stall at this point.

7) HAVE PATIENCE!! Your weight will come off more slowly if you have a history of yo-yo dieting. And the older you are the more slowly it will come off.

My weight loss totally stalled until I started exercising....now it's coming down a WHOPPING 1/2 lb. a week!! But....the bottom line.... it's better than gaining and I feel GREAT!
