It's so frustrating and with everything else I'm feeling...I just need to back off the diet. Here I say this and this morning I got on the scales and it said 238....who knows...maybe it was water weight gain.

Good. That's encouraging!! I know that the Atkins diet talks about not losing weight. You get to a plateau and can't seem to get off but they say to keep on.......and generally you'll have a sudden drop and lose some more.

I reach so many plateau's that it is very hard for me not to give up. This time though...I may take a break, but I want this weight off so bad that I won't quit.

Well.....crap...LOLOL. I got down to 237 and was on cloud nine!!!! Got on the scales this morning and back to 240. I just can't seem to get away from that number for very long. Taking a break....then I'll try again.

Sometimes when you hit a plateau, you need to take in just a few more calories for a few days. Don't eat too many more, just a few more sometimes revs up the metabolism.

Don't look at the scales every day......just once a week. Also, stay away from salt! That makes my weight go up and down.......water weight. Hugs!! You're doing great!!!

I don't do salt anyway...never really cared for salty things much. It's just hard to watch when something doesn't taste salty but has a bunch in it.

Good luck Janet. My sis and bil are drinking those body by vi shakes. To me it sounds like the slim fast fad......but they have lost weight on them. But I think it is pricey.....100.00 per month for each one of them. The shakes are suppose to be packed full of nutrients and good for you but each shake has 225 calories.

I couldn't do the shake diets....I have to have real food. I'm down to 236 so I just have to keep on trying.

I feel the same way about doing it with food. With the shakes it seems like everyone eventually gains it all back because it's not teaching them to change how they eat.
I've been on Atkins for a year now and even though I'm not losing weight at the moment I have a hard time eating carbs. Potatoes, pasta, and bread I don't really miss much but if there's some homemade bread it's impossible to resist but I don't eat as much as I would before. I still feel so much better than I used to. You're doing GREAT, Janet!! Keep up the good work!!!

I haven't been recording my food like I should but I still lost a lb, so maybe I've gotten into the habit of eating better....I don't know.
