Hey, I know its not much, but I'm trying to get my blood count back up so I'm eating a lot of spinach and green veggies and red meat along with taking all of this iron every night. So... I'm not really able at the moment to cut my carb level down to a place where I can actively lose, I'm following more of a maintanence program than an ongoing weight loss phase at the moment and I'm still too tired to exercise. But I am sticking to the Atkins plan, no sugar, healthy foods, etc. SO I AM SO EXCITED, I lost a pound today despite all of this. Now I only have seven more to go!

Hi Syndarella - I'm guessing your calories went down with all of the greens you are eating which could explain the loss. I find that even though I am eating 5 more carbs a day than when I was on induction, and 4-5 weeks post induction, once I started eating more carbs coming from the green veggies, my calories went down and I have had an increased weight loss.

Congratulations! You know those leafy greens HAVE to be doing your body good.

Congratulations on your pound!

LOL I think I may have to redo my goal though. At this rate, if I only lose a pound per month it may take me til longer than June to reach it

Good for you!

My grandmother once told me that she had to eat onions to raise her blood count... for whatever that is worth!

Congrats on your pound - yeah you !!!
