Did I scare you all away or sumthin? heh heh I am very proud of me, I am now down a couple lbs since yesterday. Total of 5 lbs in 12 days...I'll TAKE it! Time to go scarf down an egg muffin or two and head off to my morning walk. Whoever suggested this thread...THANK you!

Nothing happening this time

I'm an Atkins failure, having tried so many times in the past and failed. I know all the rules, but my problem is usually that (a) I get a chocolate craving and just give in, then go bonkers with it, or I go to a wedding/party etc and am tempted, then don't get back on the wagon.

I am on my third day of a 100% totally clean induction and am horrified to find that I have gained 4 pounds in that time. I just broke down and sobbed after seeing the scales this morning.

So, started induction at 315, now 319.

I'm so depressed.

Can anyone help?

Helena,
I'm sure its just a fluke. Drink lots of water! What have you been eating on a daily basis and how much? This may assist us in helping you.

Helena, welcome to ha

Post a day or 2 menues and let us see if there is something that's making you go the other way. Are you exercising? Are you drinking enough water? Are you taking supplements? We will be more than happy to help you if we can :hug

It just goes like that sometimes doesn't it? I lost 5 lbs over the course of 2 weeks, only to have the scale rebound on me and gain a pound or two back when I KNOW I am watching everything to the letter. It gets frustrating but stick with it and drink drink drink that water, it will come.

Me! Me! Me!

On day two of induction. Lost 40 lbs last year before a car accident, and it took coming back to this forum to get me to stay on track for more than 10 hours!

Today is the second no-cheat day, second day of exercise, second day of full water (I'm once again best buds with the porcelein god.....)

Went to the beach today and walked briskly for 1/2 hour in addition to getting a nice tan - if I must look like a beached whale, let it be a BRONZED one!

Feeling good, feeling good!

Finelly - Great Job!!! Glad you made it through two days. Wish I could be bronzed. I seem to just burn, always. :wave
