Default shocked on the scale

183 this morning. Had to double and triple check it to make sure I got the same thing. It seems as if I have now dropped about 7 pounds in the last week or so.

I was kind of hacked off, because I had been hovering around 190 for several weeks. I started taking the atkins basic 3 vitamins, and also the essential oils supplment. On top of that, I am now taking L-carnitine every day, and the CoQ10 product.

Atkins says at the back of his book that these things can help unlock a stall, and evidently it has kicked in for me bigtime.

WooHOO!!! Good job!

Those supplements are part of what broke my stall as well. It feels great to see that scale moving again, doesn't it?!

Way to go!

When you talk about basic 3 vitamins, which ones do you mean? What are the essential oils you talk about too? Thanks
