I just joined this web site.I have been doing atkins since the last week of Jan.I have lost a little over 42 pounds.I joined Curves 1 month ago today and had a weigh in that gave me a loss of 11.75 inches and 5.25 pounds.I was little disappointed with the low weight loss but the women who was measuring me told me that I am building muscle mass and that sometimes in the begining it can weigh more.I have heard this before but it still is a little hard to swallow because I have close to 100 pounds to go to get to my goal.Can anyone help me!
