2 weeks down- not looking good.....

[AndyL]

Haven't weighed myself in two weeks. haven't cheated (even though i came close!) Stuck to it religiously, but...

Went back to work today after a week and a half off. Trousers didn't feel ANY looser around the waist. Shirt collar just as snug as before

I'm scared to get on the scales on Friday - Not looking forward to it!

Re: 2 weeks down- not looking good.....

Hi there....I feel your pain Andy! I think the key to Atkins is perseverance. I'm feeling rather fat and like giving up today, but I know this way of eating works and I'm not giving up. Personally I need to turn up the exercise...what about you? Are you exercising regularly? It makes a difference, I know that from all the testimonials I've read on this board!
Stick with it my friend~~lots of water, right? Regular exercise? No sugar?
If you're doing what you're supposed to, it's gotta work pretty soon.

Re: 2 weeks down- not looking good.....

I am right there with you both. I have been back on Atkins for 22 days now. I originally lost a whopping 2 pounds only have gained them back. I feel NO smaller in my clothes and actually feel quite bloated.

I am eating so much less than I was before simply because I am not that hungry (a benefit of Atkins) and I know something is happening because my ketostix are purple?

The exercise is definitely an area that I am slacking in and I think I am overdoing the Splenda by one or two servings.

I am NOT going to give up though. Hang in there.

Isn't that the best I told you so you ever heard? I was in the same boat as you when I hit my stall.

Didn't mean to ignore you ANDY.... sorry.....maybe you could post your menu up in the Read My Menu forum and they will tell you what you may be eating wrong, if anything.

You may be surprised when you weigh yourself. Let us know if you haven't lost any. Maybe we can help with just a few suggestions.

I've found that too Sandy..put away a couple of pairs of pants, but there are still some that I wear, and although they're slilghtly looser, they still look normal.

CONGRATULATIONS ANDYL!!! 6.5 pounds gone forever!

WAY TO GO MORNING GLORY! People SEE those inches!

I know something is happening because my ketostix are purple

KICK up the water! Purple is not always a good thing. You want to make sure you are not getting dehydrated. Seems a trend is the more water you drink the more you lose!
