How wonderful it was to discover this thread. I lost 50 pounds on WW, but found that, unless I wanted to eat sawdust, I wasn't going to thrive on my calorie allotment. A month ago I switched over to the Atkins program. I do circuit weight-training three times a week, and walk 2 miles a day the other three. My weight actually went up a few pounds, but I've lost three inches, and my energy level is amazing. Sometimes I get discouraged, because I think that someone has secretly Super-glued the needle on the scale. At what point should I be concerned? If I were a Turtle, I'd at least be losing something , yes?
