Hi, All - I am getting a little frustrated because I haven't seen any weight changes in the last couple of weeks it seems. I know that this is probably normal, but I would love it if some experienced Atkins folks could take a look at my food intakes and see if I may be making a mistake... please click on the "My Fitday" attached in my signature.

Just a note: I have no intention of deviating from this WOE, I love how I feel - I just want to make sure I am doing it "right".

Also, I always drink between 80-120oz of water a day. Thanks!

Hi,

I looked at it....are your entries complete??? Some days you had no veggies at all, some days calories were OK, other were far too low. Is it correct???
Alina

I think you are doing great and should be proud!
I went 4 weeks without weight loss, but I've lost 4 inches in my waist alone. Are you measuring???
Try to eat fresh veggies every day. Eat enough calories (I eat 1700-2000 / day)
As you said: you are happy with this, hang on! We'll be celebrating your whoosh in no time!
Alina

Oh Alina....

I don't think this is her problem. LOL

Yes, my Fitday is complete (other than today since it's still morning here) ... I will work on upping the fresh veggies.

I have been measuring, although not religiously. You're right, though - I do need to chill, I am seeing improvements there. Thanks!

OK!
See you have a journal here, maybe we could stay in touch,,,,
Don't want to miss that whoosh of yours!

...I lost eight pounds on induction in the first three weeks - obviously it was mostly water. I've remained on induction ever since (started the Monday after Easter) and have GAINED back all but three pounds! I've also exercised (strength training) regularly. In case you're wondering, I haven't lost inches instead of pounds. I weigh, and look in my clothes, about like I did when I started.

Any one have any pearls of wisdom for me??

VAchick.
Post what you are eating. Also with strength training you could be adding muscle mass.

Breakfast
Coffee with cream
slenda
scrambled eggs 2/cheese

Lunch
Tuna w/ half koscher pickle, Duke's mayo
OR some other meat

Another coffee with same

Snack
1/2 c ricotta cheese w/slenda (try it, it's good)

sometimes I also have some melted cheese for a snack

dinner
hamburger or some meat (no sauce w/carbs)
salad with cuke, green onions and ranch dressing

sometimes, I have sugar free jello

You are probably going over your allotted cheese amount of 3-4 oz.

I love ricotta with protein powder but I lose better without it.

Is slenda Splenda or is it something else?


Splenda is limited to 3 packs a day.


More veggies, how about another salad at lunch or some green beans or spinach.

Veggies, honey, more veggies and lots of water! I eat a protein in the morning for breakfast-usually an egg of some sort, then meat and veggies for lunch and dinner-and TONS of water!
