I HAD STUCK RELIGIOUSLY TO THE DIET .. HOWEVER I DID HAVE SOME VODKA AND DIET COKE, THE PUB DIDN'T HAVE CAFFINE FREE .. COULD THIS HAVE STALLED ME FOR THAT WEEK ...ANYONE WITH ANY IDEAS OR ANSWERS I WOULD BE GRATEFUL TO HEAR FROM YOU.....ALSO I HAVE GOT 140 POUNDS TO LOSE AND WOULD LOVE A BUDDY EITHER SEX TO KEEP ME COMPANY...

It is possible that the Vodka thing could have stalled you a little. Are you excercising more? If you are and building muscle that could be why also. . It is also normal to fluctuate a little just due to Hormonal changes during the month.
You did great the first two weeks! Dont get discouraged Keep in touch!

I had the exact same problem (gaining 1 lb) a few weeks into Atkins. I came on here, read all the stalls and even went to the ATkins center website and read about stalls etc etc.

The best advice was from someone here, who said that with all the weight they have lost, they probably lost it 2-3 times.

Every once in a while I gain a pound, as others have said they do, but it will be lost don't worry. AFter all you still lost nine right ! I know a lot of people suggest not to weigh yourself daily because when you gain a pound it's easy to get off the right track. But keep yourself on it because in the end it will be worth it.

38 pounds later and it's still working for me ! Even with an extra pound here and there.

THANK YOU FOR THE REPLYS..... I AM STILL ON TRACK AND FEELING FINE.. I NOW UNDERSTAND THAT IT HAPPENS TO OTHERS AS WELL AND DON'T FEEL SO BAD. AGAIN THANK YOU ..
