Good morning everyone! Suga- The scale is our worst enemy at times. The tape measure is our best friend. Have you measured yourself lately? You may be happy to see yourself shrinking better with the tape measure than the scale at this time.

No! Don't give up. If you're sure you are doing everything right, and not eating extra carbs, the weight WILL come off. The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. I was SO COMPLETELY discouraged because I'd had a perfect week with tons of exercise and I actually gained a pound. BUT the next week I lost SIX pounds. It will come off. Just keep doing what you're doing and the scale will start to move.

Don't give up & don't get discouraged. I'm with Sherri on using the tape meausre vs the scale. As you can see in my siggy my weight loss isn't massive compared to some members but I have lost an amazing amount of inches!!!

Thanks everyone for your encouragement.....Im feeling a bit better today and I didnt give in to ANY cravings yesterday. I have taken my measurements and sadly they havent changed a bit from what they were when I started so I really rely on the scale. However aside from upping my veggie intake on some days I know that all else is good.....my water intake is where it should be.......Im getting a fair amount of exercise......and thanks to an all day trip to the ER and a urinalysis I am in ketosis, the doctor was sure to point out that there was a high amount of ketones in the sample and after I told him I was on the Atkins plan he completely understood. So all in all Im in a bit of better spirits today and feel ready to give it another week and then look at the scale again.
