New and Need Help!!!
Hi! This is my first attempt at posting a question.....hope it works. I started Atkins about 3 weeks ago and i can't honestly give a start weight because I was afraid to step on the scale! I have done weight watchers in the past and lost quite a bit of weight only to gain it back. i started Atkins and I have to say I am really discouraged although I am committed to continuing. Usually when starting a weight loss plan i loose 5-7 pounds the first week. I am not sure what the scale shows, possibly a loss of anywhere from 6-20 pounds. I really feel more awake and less tired but I still don't feel and less puffy as I did in other types of plans. I can't really say I notice a difference in my clothes. My ketostik have gone from neg to trace to maderate to trace again. I guess here are my questions...........
1. Does it take some people longer to get started losing on this plan like 3 weeks or is that a sign that I'm doing something wrong?
2. If The stix show trace is that still acceptable?
3. Can too many carb free snacks with sugar alcohols affect your loss?
4. Will I gain a tonm of weight if I stop this and go to WW again?-But I really still want to stick with it!
I'm sure Ill have more later!! THANKS!!
