Hi! I'm new to this message board site and I'm looking for some help! I did great on Atkins last fall and kept it off until I got married in June. As I was trying to be a great wife, I began fixing pancakes, biscuits, muffins and more and eating them each morning with my husband. Those items started sticking to my hips and I decided to get back on Atkins. I started Atkins precisely 1 week before Katrina slammed us in south Louisiana. I was motivated to stay in the induction because I tend to get sick when I get off at first and we didn't have power, water, etc. and I didn't want to be sick. I have now completed 3 weeks of the induction guidelines. After the first two weeks, I'd lost 9 pounds. Since then, the scales say that I've gained a pound or two, but I have been eating around 15 carbs/day. Can anyone help me determine why (1 week later) I haven't lost?? Is it possible that its fluid retention - My rings fit tight on my hands some days?? Is it possibly muscle since I've done lots of running and carrying heavy loads as we're helping others at this time?? I'm doing too well to quit, but I'm getting discouraged and need help. I only have about 15 pounds to lose, but I've gotta lose it!
THANKS!
THANKS!
