Anne,
I noticed you mentioned whether or not Leenie's friend had been on a diet before as impacting results. I have wondered about this. Have you read anything about that?
Leenie - you're not alone in your struggle. Comparing ourselves is a dangerous practice. As you fan through this forum, you'll find our weight losses cover the spectrum in terms of amounts and frequency. I'm in the same boat you are with a great first week and then reality sets in that this process is not going to be a "quick fix." I've been on Atkins many times as well as other diets and I think my body knows what I'm up to and hasn't decided to get on board with me yet.
Hang in there. You are among friends. Maybe me make small changes in what you do if you think there is a real problem, e.g. increase water and exercise, add fat, reduce fat, monitor caffeine and artificial sweetners.. Sometimes no change is required other than patience.
I'm with you in spirit.
