Slow Start

[brenda615]

Hi my name is Brenda, I'm 47 and looking to lose about 25 pounds. I live in Spokane Washington. I've been trying to do atkins since about the second week of July. I have not lost much weight, only a few pounds, but I like the diet. I guess I'm at the age where you diet and don't lose any weight...lol. I did weight watchers many times and I have decided that if I have to starve then I might as well stay fat (although I hate being fat). Anyone else out there with a long slow start?

Thanks,
Brenda

Re: Slow Start

This is my second time on Atkins and it's been a really slow start. However, although the scale has moved slowly, the inches have been melting off. I measure every 2 weeks and it's astounding!

There are people for whom, even on the first go round, the initial loss is slow, but suddenly picks up in the second or third month. Your body will lose in the time and method it wants to!!!!

You have a great attitude and you will be thin before you know it!
