Thank you all for the personal stories and encouragement. Congrats to each of you for sticking it out. And for your results! Very impressive.
I have committed to a NEW WOL, not a diet. I am a tough nut with lots of willpower as long as "I BELIEVE". Can keep doing the basics if I know I am on the right track. I just need a road sign now and then, a mile marker if you will.... Was nice to get them so often in the first few weeks.
The thing is, I wanted to stay on the induction rate of weight loss, (after watching 5 pounds a week come off). Now the sustained rate of 1 or 2 pounds a week seems slow. Since it is so early on in my NEW WOL, and since it worked great for 3 weeks and then stalled, the doubts were creeping back in... There are plenty of people who attack atkins weight loss as only water weight loss, etc.
Connecting to some people like you who have clearly lost more than water
is helpful. Thanks again!
I had no idea that a stall might last 3 weeks without 'proving' that atkins does not work.
Anyway, the way I see it, I am not losing anything, but am gaining a new life. Looks like each of you are too!
So... in the company of good men, I rally. Onward ho!
This journal thing is really a good idea eh? I was posting concepts, but not too much mundane meal by meal stuff. Will try it to see if anybody has any ideas.
Fitday? What's fitday?
Thanks again.
