What to do — suggestions needed??
Hi all. I started Atkins on 1/22. Induction went great & I actually
stayed on it for about a month. By 3/1 I’d lost 14#. I went on a 7-
day cruise the second week in March & didn’t gain back anything!
I’ve given up most pasta, all bread, cakes, cookies, candy, desserts,
potatoes, rice, junk food, etc. It’s been over 2 months since I had a
Big Mac — LOL. I used to be a BIGGGGG junk-food junkie — now I eat
salads, meat, veggies, etc. Good stuff!
I have stayed at this new weight for a month now (including the
cruise). The 14# I lost the first 6 weeks is ALL I’ve lost. Since I
really want to lose 40# more, this is kinda discouraging.
So what do y’all suggest? Go back on induction? I walk some, but
really don’t exercise. Since I haven’t lost any more in a MONTH I
need to do something!
Thanks in advance for any advice……

Deb: I did the same thing and lost 11 pounds but have put 5 of it back
on. I exercise with a personal trainer once a week and on three other
days I work out by myself. I hike with my dog and husband on weekends.
I am at a smaller size but the weight seems to be doing nothing.
Discouraging is a mild word for me. I’m really at a total loss at what
to do. Yes I do know muscle weighs more but I’ve been doing this since
April/2003 and am about to give up on the whole concept and go back to
1200 calories a day.
I’ll give it a bit more time but it is getting depressing.
