Hotdogs and weight gain? Help!

[Christianmom2girls]

Hi everyone! I just finished up my induction and lost six pounds..Yay! I am happy about that but I weighed myself this morning and gained another pound back..The only thing I ate different during the two weeks was yesterday I had a hotdog for lunch..Any suggestions? I was already bummed I didn't lose a little more weight and then to see I gained weight is really discouraging and I feel like giving up...

I also got over my period a few days ago..But don't think the water weight at this point would make me gain..Any ideas?? Thanks!!

When you were gaining weight pre-Atkins, didn't you also have days when you lost some weight?

Daily weight fluctuations are perfectly normal. If they bother you, then weigh only weekly or so.

A lot of sodium in that hot dog. It may cause water retention.

Any suggestions?

Yep. Stop freaking out about the number on the scale.

You think losing 9 lbs would have helped you make Atkins a lifestyle more than losing 6?

And by the way, 6 lbs is more than 11% of the weight you needed to lose when you started. For someone with 100 lbs to lose, that would mean losing more than 11.
