I'm a newbie at posting, but not to Atkins. I went on Atkins in 1996 & lost 30 lbs. in 3 months! That was before counting "net" carbs. Just counted straight carbs. I started lcing again 5/13/03 & have not lost a pound! I have lost 1 inch around hips & can now wear my wedding ring again. I know that's something to be encouraged about, but after having been on Atkins & had such success, it is discouraging to have been on it for 2 months, and no weight loss. I use ketostix & they're always purple, so I know I'm in ketosis. I'm not good about exercising, but do have a plan to start this week. Any words of advice would be very much appreciated!!!
