Hello,
My mom, dad and I have been on Atkins since January 27th of this year. We have all been losing weight very very slowly and my father is getting discouraged. My mother has been cheating all the time and eating so many "Bites" that she's practically not on it. She then complains she is not losing any weight! As for my dad... He cheates somewhat but he still loses about a pound a week. He thinks this is too slow and has threatened giving up the diet all together. A few weeks ago I sent him to a few of the links on this forum and it helped change his mind... But now he is back on the mindset of "Aw just screw it I'll eat what I want." And my mother always is begging for us to order a pizza and it drives me nuts!
I have also been losing very slowly. Abot 1 pound a week as well. However, I JUST now have started seriously excersizing as we got our elliptical a few days ago. I did it for 10 minutes yesterday and wore me out. However, my dad said he didn't want to do it because he had a headache, and my mom just flat out admitted she didn't want to do it. I think they are losing any hope that this diet has to make them healthy. My father often complains that he feels like crap all of the time and he thinks it may be the diet. So to test this theory, he pigged our on mexican food last night to see if it makes him feel better. I still don't know the verdict on that one!
Anyway... The point of all this... We're all getting pretty discouraged by the diet. I have been staying on it as strict as ever and I am even losing very slowly! My parents on the other hand are on the brink of giving up and nothing I say or do is getting them to change their minds. They just cheat so much now they practically have fallen off!
Any response is appreciated, thanks...

before too long I am sure you will be able to do more so dont worry about only being able to do a short time at first.
