I live in Union County and I go to Newark 2 days a week to do Tax Searches in the City Hall. Ive been doing Atkins for about 2 1/2 weeks now but I need to switch to CAD or Sommersize, I may be pregnant and the doctor does not want me to go into ketosis so for 2 weeks I will be on one of those plans. but Ive lost 7lbs so far as long as I dont gain Im happy.

This was to be under First time writer Can it be moved there Sorry!

You did good, Whiplash!!! It's ok that this was a post 'unto its own'!

Welcome to the board - and congrats on the baby, (if it turns out to be positive). You will get lots of good advice and support here.

Happy low carbing!

Welcome and congrats...I found CAD really easy to stick with... and it is maitenece free.

Hi everyone! I am doing a reformed Atkins for the second time. My first time I did it for a month and lost 20 pounds, went off, gained weight, and now I'm back. I have been doing this for about 8 days now. I have lost 9 pounds. I know it's probaly water weight. Still exciting though! I dont' really eat meat or poultry so it's hard to get my protein. I've been drinking the Atkins mix and a lot of salad and fruits. Do you think the fruit will cause me to gain? I haven't seen my ketosis sticks change yet..that's a little frustrating! I've been exercising for an hour everyday--4 miles! Does anyone know what my problem is??
