Hi all,

I have been low-carbing for a week now after doing a sloppy job for about a year. We have had the loss of a family member in November, [I]and my biggest challenge is emotional eating! I was eating and eating to make myself feel good, well beyond hunger.

I am now using the Atkins plan strictly--I think. I bought their journal, and I love the structure of that. I am planning what I eat (counting every carb) for a reason (my goals) instead of just eating to make myself feel better.

So my question is, why did I loose only 1 pounds in this past week?? My pants feel not-so-tight. My measurements showed a little loss. But the scales hardly budged. I am exercising.

Thanks for any commnets.

Patty
