No Weight loss over the past 3 weeks

[Fayeza]

I have started extended induction about 3 weeks ago. I only lost 200 gms in the past 4 weeks. I haven't cheated once, and my ketones sticks are always purple, but I am not seeing any changes on the scales, even my measurements aren't any different since week 2. I am really desperate to lose weight. My 10 year reunion is in 4 weeks. I am not even close to my first mini goal! I was really hoping to lose at least 10 more pounds, but it is not happening. I work out really hard, almost an hour daily. I do cardio and weights...I follow the rules. I take my multivitamines! My total calories are under check.. yet, I am not losing any weight nor inches.....
I am really confused and sad...
I don't want to stop trying though... Any suggestions to accelerate my fat loss?

>>my ketones sticks are always purple,>>

That could mean you're dehydrated. It could mean you spill a lot of ketones. Having your pee turn a stick a color doesn't mean you're doing Atkins right or that you will lose weight. Relying on them for anything is futile.

My suggestions are:

post a typical day's menu ... with quantities and net carbs, and how much water you're drinking.

The second suggestion is to move to OWL.

Re: No Weight loss over the past 3 weeks

are you tracking your vits and minerals to be sure you are not deficient in any as it is hard to get a full days worth from thr induction legal foods.

Some folk do better adding rung one of OWL to their induction 3 cups of veggies to get more of those missing vits and minerals.

Hang in there weight loss doesn't always happen in a rapid linear path but if you keep working out and eating your atkins you will be a healtheir smaller you walking into that room for your reunion.
